We were out a very long time for the 3rd hospital intravenous appointment, but it went well and the greatest pleasure is not having so much arm tingling. Could be a result of having a heat rap all the time it was going in or simple the really hot weather we have had.
Tiredness has of course gone on, but I didn't really appreciate how tired I get until yesterday when we went to my grandson's 'early' birthday party. His mum is likely to produce his new brother too near his real August birthday so he had a lovely time with 8 class friends in a DINOSAUR themed party (he's just coming to 6 and is an avid reader of anything to do with them). Usually I have helped a lot but I had to accept being a bystander, sitting down and trying to concentrate on what went on. Ah well, it really was a goood middle day but we came back early and home was a peaceful haven!
The hot weather has been quite hard - swollen ankles most afternoons - but sunshine is a real tonic.
I'm hopeful that the next 2 weeks will get easier again and am really grateful for the relatively few side effects I've had so far with oxalyplatin and capicet.....
