many thanks to everyone hear who regularly answer fears,worries etc etc it really makes a difference .
can,t fault anyone I,ve come into contact with regards my hospital Appts everyone has been very caring and professional.
just need peg fitting and I think I will be good to go...
I had my first chemo during the night on Tuesday/Wednesday ...as you say you are in hospital a while..I was on the drip for 16 hours in total..only 3 of those were the actual chemo drugs..the others fluids and anti sickness drugs and steroids...very sick the day after but Thursday Friday much improved to today where I’m brilliant...so the first weeks down..radio and chemotherapy...
