Hi Guys,
thought I would give a quick update of how things are going.
Had my 1st chemo session with no problems.....so much so i felt invincible and stupidly was out and about the same night in asda and a again a couple of days later......the upshot of this is I picked up a chest infection that i thought was chemo side effects....very tight chested and out of breath.....so i didn't do anything about it... 6 nights later, realising that my temp was up, I rang the number the chemo nurse gave me....kind of played it down so the Dr agreed I should go and see my own GP in the morning......that night tight chest and terrible chest pains ...got up and they did ease, so i went GP in the morning...got some antibiotics and a telling off for not ringing 999 with the chest pains.
Antibiotics worked well but still a bit chesty after a week so a 2nd course prescribed....The GP also gave me a course to keep as a standby should i think something is starting again, to start on till i get to see him.....that reassures me a bit as I won't make the same mistakes again.
Anyway it's Sunday and I am due to have 2nd chemo on Wed.....if bloods are ok.....feeling great at the min so hopefully all should be ok for Wed....
Well that's it for now...apart from the chest infection that I should of jumped on earlier....things went a lot easier than I thought......will update as i get to the end of the next cycle.
