Well, that was eventful. I really am a 'sicky' person.
12 hours after my first (uneventful) FEC, I am back in hospital being hooked up to a drip and given IV anti-sickness medication. Over the course of the day, they fill me with a bag of fluid, another IV antisickness, two antisickness injections, and some tablets. I can barely eat and I know I am in trouble when the nurse insists on NHS-approved high-calorie chocolate mousse for pudding after my teatime honey on toast (I slept through dinner).
Day 2 in the hospital (chemo day 3?), and if I eat, keep down the oral meds, and the doctor says so, I can go home. I eat (toast, ginger nuts, cheese sandwich, crisps and apple pie & custard). I take my meds. Everything stays where it should. They take the cannula out (another bruise), and send me home.
I spend the next day on the sofa. Never have I eaten so many ginger-containing items in one day. I'm nibbling ginger nuts in bed. In the middle of the night.
Is this indigestion I've got now?
