My ever present friend and other health issues:

Up 3 times during night but feel better today. Trip to Shoreham Health Centre to have pump removed and PICC line serviced. Treated by Nurse Jane. Medications Anti-nausea Steroids Calcium Side-effects Constipation neuropathy Slight nausea.

The chemotherapy appointment was at 11am and Peter again drove me to the hospital. The infusion was managed by Sharon. There was some feeling of nausea, but ginger nut biscuits helped. The Amberley ward seemed calmer that at previous appointments and the procedure was completed in two and a half hours.  Feelings of nausea continue into day two and ginger cordial helps to relieve the symptoms. The pumped infusion is working as expected Medication Anti nausea  Anti acid reflux Steroid Calcium Side effects nausea neuropathy hichoughs constipation

After my visit to the Emergency Floor on 24th/25th January my temperature has not peaked, and my breathlessness has improved. My recovery was sufficient to enable chemotherapy to be resumed on 13th February, Monday. Blood test and PICC line service on 10th February, Friday and pump return and PICC service on Wednesday 16th.  My next CT scan has been rebooked at Southlands for 24th February along with the next blood test on the same visit to Shoreham. It will be interesting to learn if the 5 weeks without a chemotherapy infusion has changed the secondary cancers when I have my next Oncologist appointment.
