Good Evening All.
Hope everyone is being as good as they can be?
wow! It’s been really cold hasn’t it?
So Mark has had his first Chemo session..
we arrived at the hospital in good time for his appointment, he was very worried, and fidgety ( like a child, couldn’t keep still)
There were a fair few people waiting, lots of activity but no one calling any names out. We sat and waited and then the Sister came called a name and apologised that there was an hr and half wait!
Mark wasn’t happy!
eventually his name was called and we walked in to a room with six comfortable chairs, one was empty, that was going to be marks, he got sat down and the nurse came over asked him some questions and checked a few things explained what was going to happen.
He looked at me with very worried eyes. I smiled.
Anti sickness pill was the first, followed by a big bag of saline , then a pouch of steroids then the first chemo, they told him if he felt strange in any way he had to tell them.
about 10 mins in, he started to go red, I asked if he was ok and he wait his neck was all sweaty and the nurse heard him, so he had to have a “bee sting”
injection, and he will have that every time now.
after that he was ok.
once that chemo had finished , it was another saline to flush and then the chemo that took 2 hrs, plus calipol (think that is what it was called) which he needed as that helps the chemo in the pump (which he has at home for 46 hrs)
All finished, we arrived at 12, for a 12.30 appointment and we got home at 7.30pm. It was a long day.
Home with the pump, Mark was really worried about this one, as this is the one with side affects of a heart attack 
We didnt sleep much at all that night, I was worried I was going to touch it, Mark was worried he was going to pull it out!
Day after, I got up and went to work, told him if he needed me to just ring ( being the boss I can leave!) I messaged him through the day and he said he was just tired still in bed, when I got home he was on the sofa, he hasn’t eaten much all day so I made him some soup.
The only side affects he said he felt was when he emptied the dishwasher, when he touched a plate his fingers has like pins and needles. So, so far he’s doing really well. He feels tired.
He has stopped his two days of steroids and Anti sickness. ( But has some if he needs to take any)
Just waiting for the nurse to come and remove the pump!
Thank you for reading.
lots of love

Good Evening Soo7,
Thank you for your reply, How is your Hisband doing? Mark is having a rough day, he has said his tummy feels like concrete, so uncomfortable, he took an anit sickness pill but it didn’t do anything!
he’s a little worried x
He has spent most of today (Sunday) laid on sofa in and out of sleep.
How are you coping? I feel like I have a few faces..
1. smile and say everything is ok when anyone asks.
2. smile and say to Mark. You’ve got this..
3. shower time, no smiles , just tears!
Mark has his next Chemo on his birthday 22nd x
Really hope your hubby gets on ok xx
lots of love
Cheryl ️
