I have got my pictures up in my room and I am starting to settle back into the routine… It’s like I have never been away.
I have finally found out what chemo I’m having in this cycle, it is just three sets of high dose Cytarabine. The chemo is delivered on days 1, 3 and 5 (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and each of these days I get two doses of the drug twelve hours apart. These are delivered in the form of a bag attached to my drip, which takes four hours to go in. (So today I will be over half way through my chemo for this cycle)
Yesterday was no chemo, I was a bit tired and it got very hot in here. It went up to 30 degrees C in the evening. So I had the fan going all night just to try and keep myself cool.
My face is getting a bit red but the rash I had last time does not seem to have appeared as quickly as last time, maybe after today’s dose it will get worse. Not sure if it’s me or the food in here but I seem to have lost my apatite. I’m sure once the chemo is over it will come back.
… 3k on the exercise bike yesterday, which is my target during chemo, my back was still a bit sore from when they took the bone marrow…
