My last infusion bag is now emptying itself into my right arm. That's about 10 litres worth of fluids since last Wednesday. Its quite hot in the ward today and 25 degrees outside, however no sun for me for a while!
One of the chemo drugs makes my skin sensitive to sunlight.
I haven't really banged on about my side-effects this time. But they're more or less the same (nausea, constipation and fatigue). Except that instead of crazy smells, i have a strong metallic taste in my mouth, a bit like when you've chewed on a pencil for too long and can taste the lead. But hey, could be a lot worse.
A good number of visitors lined up today. We continue to be uber-blessed by the love, prayers and support of friends and family. Thanks so much!! We love you.
