Hi all,
Had my 4th lot of chemo yesterday actually got out early which is good as I’m normally there until 6 but was out before 4. Feeling ok today and managed to not throw up as I normally do the early hours after treatment, took my anti sickness when I got home as well as bed time which seemed to work. I suffer with pains in my legs and the nurse recommended tonic water as the quinine in it helps with pain and a weighted blanket she also said about rubbing epsom salt into my legs. Hopefully only two more to go, will have a scan after the 6 and see what the plan is. Just these 2 lymph nodes in the pelvis that we are trying to deal with, pesky little things lol. X
Silly question, can we tip a dram or two of gin in the tonic? Interesting to know about the quinine and I'm looking into weighted blankets. As for epsom salts I'm bemused but I'll give then a go as well.
Funnily my nausea is 6 days after the treatment, not on the same day!
Big hugs, Barb xx
