Jan 9th 2007PeterMore treatment!
And with the holiday well and truly over, it was back to work yesterday! However not without its trials and tribulations!
I had a good weekend, appetite back, feeding up a bit (helped no doubt by the steroids that are part of the treatment) but yesterday evening the other side effects of the chemo started kicking in – the tiredness, sore mouth and throat etc, and my sense of taste has taken the expected nose dive. I did go into work again today, but not for too long – enough to read e mails and to prepare for a meeting tomorrow, then it was back home to sleep for about 3 hours!
However, I have started the GCSF injections – earlier than last time – so I hope that the neutropenia nadir will be less deep and shorter lived. I did have a call from Liz at Guy’s yesterday, saying that the echocardiogram has been moved from this Thursday to next Monday, which is when I am due to have the next set of blood tests, so I don’t have to go up to London this week!
Anyway, I know what to expect from the first cycle of chemo, so I guess I shall just have to grin and bear it!
Onwards and upwards!
