Yikes! I'm getting a train in about an hour and going down to see my mum and dad for the weekend and get the boys. J's got his mum and sister coming to visit today and his friend coming to stay for the weekend. I am trusting that he will walk the dog and cook and be on hand in case J feels poorly, and it won't be like a scene from Don't Tell the Bride when the crazy stags get together!!
Feeling quite anxious as J hasn't been too well again. He was starting to look a lot better but he was sick again this morning when he came out for a dog walk with me. I think it was probably just because he'd just had all his tablets which always make him a bit nauseous. The poor fella is up in bed having a lie down now. He says he's fed up of feeling so pathetic and has been a bit down in the dumps the last few days. I am really hoping that now that the chemo is over for the next 10 days he will pick up. It's difficult with him being on BEACOPP. With ABVD there are so many people on it that you can google symptoms and see that people generally feel sick on days 3-6 and have sore arms on day 7 to whatever. It's reassuring. With BEACOPP we're a bit in the dark.
Ho hum. Fingers crossed he's alright these next few days. I'm really really looking forward to seeing the family and being looked after myself for a couple of days, but I have come to realise that bad days tend to follow the good ones in this game....
