Just a quick post to say I hd my first chemo of this set without incident, home just after 1.0. They gave me intravenous steroids to cover the possibility of a reaction. I have a very sore arm but the redness has already faded. The polyneuropathy is setting in, too uncomfortable to move the cup I had had my tea in outside this aftenoon, so warming cutlery on the Rayburn and drinking warm water with meals. Dot has produced a hot water bottle for my arm and my flask is all lined up for night-time drinks.
I slept for two hours when we got home and would have slept all evening if Dave hadn't woken me in case I couldn't sleep tonight. I was sleeping off the iv piriton, and got very grumpy and a bit tearful especially when everyone else had an iced lolly. It has been such a lovely day, weather-wise.
Off to choir tonight, with Mary-Ann and Dave. I might as well do that as sit here feelling sorry for myself. Choir numbers are up to the 50s, great enthusiasm all round.
