First full day in my room - lots of the staff put there heads round the door to say how nice it was to see me back (but after some thought they did tend to qualify it with it would be better if I were not back).
Even though I did not have much of my stuff in the day went quite quickly. Although I am starting to get withdrawal symptoms from not being on the bike for four days… I hope to do some on it today. I had a few people like the pharmacist pop in to explain all the drugs I am on - basically a load of tablets to reduce the risk of infections. (And a few to reduce the nausea)
Medical update - my consultant does his rounds on Thursday, the one I saw today did not want to be drawn on the results of my tests so I don’t expect any real update until then. The rash induced by Cytarabine has come back, this time is has started on my face. It means my face feels quite hot and is giving me quite a high temperature reading.
Isabel had a very busy day at the office so she did not make it in until dinner time (bringing a very nice meal with her). We spent a very pleasant couple of hours together before visiting time was over.
… hope to get back on the bike today, probably not the usual 9k because the chemo is starting to tire me out a bit…
