Now had 2nd infusion into my bladder more or less side effects as. First one. First 2/3 days are not brilliant but managing with painkillers. For some reason today I had a melt down and felt tearful yesterday I felt tired all day. Hopefully will feel better tomorrow. Be glad when the next four treatments are done and I have six weeks break.
My grandaughter lent us a porta potty , the internal bit fits inside our normal toilet .For the time I need it it is the ideal solution. We put bleach in it and toilet paper if used. Only I use it for the six hours,fortunately we have 2 toilets.if it gets to full we put cat litter in it then we put it in aplastic bag eg bin liners and double bag it. After the six hours we put it in our bin. So far it is working well for me.Ask her to contact me if she wants to chat etc. I am feeling more normal today. Have an extra day before no 3 as I go Tuesday next week.
