Today I start my second round of chemotherapy. This means about four hours at hospital with a couple of two hour sessions on a drip, then an infusion pump is fitted for two days.
Overall I am feeling pretty good. I have dry lips and mouth and I have sensitivity to cold, but nothing significant. Yesterday I would have comfortably done a full day at work, except that I had to be at home at 4:00 PM to have my PICC line dressed by Nurse Maud. The nurse also took blood for testing prior to my chemo today - to make sure my blood count is OK.
The trip to Glentunnel did not turn out as well as we had expected. The weather was generally cold and wet and my sensitivity to cold meant that whenever I went out of the warm caravan I felt ill. I recovered quite quickly but it was not pleasant so we came home Sunday morning. We still got some good rest and sleep though.
The next big event should be next Tuesday when I meet with the oncologist again. We are expecting a formal prognosis and the next stage of the treatment plan.
