Just popped in to say my treatment over here in Spain has begun. 30 fractions and 2 possibly 3 of chemo. I felt nothing during the procedure but was pretty sore immediately afterwards and could only manage half a bowl of soup last night. Took all my meds and went to bed. Woke up this morning with a really dry throat and needing the toilet but (and I hardly dare say it!) the pain I normally have on first waking was not as intense. So I’ve had an oxynorm, some water and a coffee and am going back to bed in a much happier mood! I know it gets better before going bad again, so I’m making the most of any respite I get! First chemo due on Thursday. Hope everyone is ok and looking forward to the heatwave!
