Hi All,
Long time no blog, have found the chemo regime really hard to handle, have never visited the doctors/hospital as much before in my life, sick of blood tests to check my blood count and viens are finally running into hiding as soon as a needle appears.
The first treatment went ok and had a good 5-6 days of wondering what it was all about as felt fine apart from a bit spacey. Second treatement and again a few days of feeling ok then feeling like pooh which resulted in trips to the doctors then the hosptial to check the bloods.
Third treatment last monday and felt fough within a few hours but hay hum ward said it was cumlative effect, then by wednesday knew I was coming down with something but let it go till friday when I gave in and called out the doctor who told me I was carrying a chest infection and needed antibiotics and if it was no better by the following day then to go straight to hosptial. I am pleased to say that although still feeling like pooh feel a little better and now just suffering from the fatigue of the chemo (you know the hgoover for a short time then sit for 10 mins) but the positive to this is I am now half way through this and have only 3 more chemos to go so chin up and lets see what today brings.
Hope all out there are having a good day.
take care love Terri xxx
