Now that the chemo has finished there is about a week while the drugs actually take effect, then they expect all my blood counts to drop (I guess round the weekend). Then I start to recover next week. Last night and this morning I have been given a couple more units of blood - think this is related to the infection I had at the weekend - I am still on the antibiotics a couple of times a day.
I have had an allergic reaction to something - the consultant thinks it is one of the chemo drugs. It means that my arms and legs are quite red. You would almost think I had been out in the sun to long - maybe I will come out with a good sun tan :-)
I have been taking a laxative for the last few days - let’s just say it’s working rather better than I expected…
Isabel has her first meeting with the Macmillan support people today - it will be interesting what they can do.
Amanda is coming in to see me today, it will be good to see her again - I don’t think I have seen her since the wedding.
... 20 minutes on the exercise bike yesterday… one of these days I might try pedaling as well a sitting on it (only kidding honest)
