This morning at 0700 I took my three 500mg Chemo tablets and I took an anti-sickness pill too, just in case I would be sick. The on duty oncologist confirmed it would be a good idea to do this. The pills have made me feel a little light headed, its hard to say really but I think they have or it could just be due to anxiety; I really am not sure. I have to leave for my radiotherapy session soon : they said that the radiotherapy would take about a week to kick in and i would feel the effects. I have to keep a close eye on my temperature too, if it goes below 36 or above 37.5 i have to ring the hospital oncologist straight away, so I shall recored my temperature when i take my pills again later. I took it this morning and it was 35.7 but tat was before i took my pills and was probably due to it being so cold. I will make a further update later when I return from radio treatment and after I take my evening pills.
I think this is when I will start to feel things worse now, we shall see.
No Mo. Things will not feel worse now. You will have the effect of the therapy, yes, but this is where the real fight begins. There is your chance, you fight, and you will win! Feel ok, because you are not running away and you are not giving up!

ReplyDeleteThanks chaps! just got home from my visit to the microwave machine, been zapped and now got a warm botty ;) had to shuffle some treatment times and found out i have to have weekly blood tests to check my haemoglobin levels. The procedure only took 15 minutes really but it is so important to do. Its painless, at the moment but they said that it will kick in soon and i will feel the effects. Its almost time for my nightly chemo stuff, going to have some dinner have me tabs then watch a film and rest, feeling a little tired and a little in pain. Upwards and onwards, tally ho! Charge! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the spirit Mo, go get 'em
