A lot better today, still feel slightly nauseaous, but no where near as bad as the past couple of days. I'm thinking maybe this is something I just need to get used to and expect each month. To be honest a couple of days, although I felt really unwell, are bearable in the long term.
Thanks for the wishes and comments, they are appreciated.

No posts for the past couple of days as I have been very unwell.
I finished the chemo drugs on Saturday, I felt very weak for most of the day but no sickness or nausea. Sunday was a different story though.

I'll start them in the morning prior to the chemo drugs…
Well, had my pre chemo visit today, and bloods, in the docs words, are "wonderfully normal". So good to hear the doc say I have had a very good start. My bloods are now as follows
WBC. 4.8
Neutrophils. 2
Platelets. 109
Heamoglobin. 139
Lymphocyte. 2.3
I know it's very very early days, but it has given me a boost, and I don't feel so apprehensive about Wednesday and the second cycle. I…
