a good few days - marred only by a cough and cold - now abating
Hoping coming week will see me in continuing good form (if a tad tired) ahead of rchop 3
Good to feel reasonably fit at this stage

Here we are post 2nd rchop and steroids session finished - in my down week I guess. And quite tired - but did too much yesterday shopping for wedding suit - father if the bride end of August
Dtr was hoping I wouldn't lose all hair - now getting very thin covering
On the positive - now fit a snazzy 38 regular suit size - fingers crossed for hair and no more weight loss
Quiet week this week - feel ok bar fatigue…
oh dear - just into 2nd rchop and hair falling out! Otherwise pretty good - a bit tired as I did too much today notwithstanding the steroids
Rest tomorrow lamenting what little hair I had is on its way out
went well again with nothing untoward - nurses took amazing care with cannula and time in dripping in the fluids. Took about 6 hours this time - might be shorter next
Good news that blood pressure a bit better 110 over 70: not brilliant but good for me. Also other bloods improved so me need for the transfusion that was mooted. Doc is checking ferretin levels to see if I need more iron
But constipated today so…
So - made it through first cycle relatively unscathed. Feeling good today and up for round 2 tomorrow
Just got back from blood tests to inform chemo tomorrow
Good to be on no pills save for allopurinol which don't seem to impact day to day health
No laxido for 5 days and bowels coping fine - interesting to see when I might need again
Blood pressure pretty good - still a bit puffed after any significant…
