Treatment 4

I've not blogged since my last treatment , 

Lets just say It wasn't the easiest without the steroids .I really didn't want to  think about it never mind write down what I was feeling
The steroid  incident  is still in the back of my mind and  causing me a few problems, I've been referred to psychiatry  .. which will probably take a few months ,good old NHS

This morning  I'm going for treatment number four ,  not exactly my first choice of things to do on a Thursday , but needs must

Hypo full of love

Got a few hours sleep there ,, no steroids today

I'm feeling a tad unwell . some impressive projectile vomiting going on, I have new anti emetics which replace the steroids , roof of my mouth is going to come out in ulcers . I can feel them already
I do have a new gel type mouth wash to coat them once they appear 

The light sensitive drips are on the trolley shelf ... three of them

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I've just had possibly the worst few days of my life
I had what can only be described as a psychotic episode brought on by what the doctors presume was an adverse reaction to the dose of steroids .. It was frightening and I don't scare easily

Today I'm sedated with Diazepam.. I still have twinges of rage but I'm so doped up I can't be bothered doing anything
The steroid dosage was doubled to counter the horrendous mouth ulcers I had after the last treatment . But I'd rather have the ulcers than go through this again
This is a nightmare

Zopiclone, when sleep doesnt come naturally

Its been a bit rough over Xmas been in bed really since Thursday evening , Starting to come round a bit now , I got sleeping tablets called zopiclone , they do the trick and make the nights a lot easier

The symptoms of the chemo, were entirely different this time round , my mouth was raw but mot ulcerated , Very lethargic during the day , even walking up the stairs was an effort , feel sore allover , They doubled the dosage of the steroids I was on .. this had made ravenous , So i didn't take any tonight just the anti nausea ones

I've a few rashes across my chest and thighs , quite itchy but i have a cream for them
