day 1.2

It's happening people. Let's go and get some chemotherapy.


We arrived in the cancer unit at 11 am. Thoughts going through my head are:
relief 
blind panic
bricking it

The waiting room has an interesting aray of reading. All the classics, you know the sort of thing, the laters by Katie Price, Dick Francis & Alan Titchmarsh. Super. More later.

3pm. In to an actual room now. 4.5 hour wait so far, nothing happened yet.Selfie update eith very special guest.

16.30. First bit if chemo on drip. Will be on constantly now for 4 days. Bit cold going through my veins but fine. Nurses, as expected, are ace. Proper Stokies. Soup, pie & rice pud for tea later. Got to measure my wee to check kidneys functioning properly. The glamour.

6.30pm A, G & K visit with supplies and pop. Ace. They're off to KFC for supper leaving me with the constant reminder of the vegetable soup I had for tea. Saline drip is really doing the trick, run out of space in the 'fluids out' column. 

7.45pm the simultaneous chimes of a dozen tv's signal the ad break in the middle of Coronation St. Reminds me to plug the iPod in and listen to 23 minutes of marvellousness. If you 'be got all day you might as well make the most of it. Join me if you like.
