Got everything crossed that this offers you fantastic results. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

Hi Nicola

Thanks, just had the 2nd treatment today. One more next Friday then a week off. Then repeat for another cycle then a CT to check progress. Just glad it's moving now.

Hi Irene, 

Just had the 2nd treatment today, bloods were all ok they were happy to go ahead. Booked in for next Friday all being well then a week off. Waiting on those blood results is so nerve racking isn't it!

Can you remember if you were given the steroids to take at home for 3 days after each treatment or just the 1st? They haven't given me them today just the GCSF injections & anti sickness, I sid ask and the girls in the unit said no nobe to take home. 

Thanks

Julie

I am really having to think back - I think I was given tablets to take at home but they didn't affect me in the same way as the anti-nausea I had in hospital.  I used to get home and it wasn't unusual to find me ironing at 2am, my sleep was so affected the night after I had treatment.  I have had a look through my notes and didn't record the quantity of tablets I had, however, I did have chronic constipation after each session so that might be something you should be aware of.  At that time I took Lactulose afterwards to help with this. x
