So, hubby escaped hospital at 5am. We were at home by 5:15am having freshly made juice, toast/Manuka honey. All has gone very well indeed. Lunch on the patio.... half hour mid afternoon nap (mainly because he had not slept at all the previous night)... dinner & even wine! Seems too good to be true. During dinner, he started hiccupping. It's now 9pm and he hasn't stopped. A quick trawl on the internet and lo and behold Cisplatin (one of his chemo drugs) can cause (mainly in men) hiccups during the 24 hours post chemo.
Apart from taking more drugs to combat the "spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm", one of the easier solutions offered was to suck fresh lemons. Luckily we had grilled salmon for dinner .... seems to have worked!
