Hi all
I had number 5 today and all went well. My bloods on Monday showed low magnesium so I was sent home with 5 days, twice daily, magnesium powders to take in water.
Onwards & upwards.

That’s terrific. Soon it will be your turn to ring the bell. I remember hearing someone ring the bell during my first chemo and it gave me hope that this treatment would indeed end eventually.
Hi Sbird
Glad it went well- just the final one to go now.
I had the same issue with magnesium and had the sachets. I found they did upset my tummy a bit. I was told it can for some people.
