Dear All
This is just a short note to let you know that I returned today from two nights in hospital for the antibody and chemo treatment — the first of six sessions which are planned to be done at two-weekly intervals.
The stay was quite pleasant as on the Monday (I think by coincidence) I regained my 'full mental capabilities' — until then I'd been a bit lethargic after the second lung operation. I felt good and still do back home.
One great help is that they gave me a different pain killer which is much better than the previous one, and so I am not much troubled by the aches and pains from the operations and the nights are also much easier. Last night I slept untroubled for almost the whole night —interrupted only by just one short 'pit stop' break. Definitely the best night in the last few weeks.
I've been put on an antibiotic course to cover any other known possible after effects and I'll be taking that for a few weeks apparently. It's apparently something normally given to babies — what with possible side effect being a spotty complexion does this all mean I'm entering a second childhood?
I was also warned to avoid cold beer and carbonated drinks — things I don't indulge myself nowadays so this is not any restriction.
I have lots of energy right now, and think I might start another spring cleaning bout tomorrow — then again I might just relax and play on the computer for a day or two.
And the other good news is that I am very unlikely to have my hair fall out this time as the chemo component is much weaker than the last series.
Thanks as always for your emails, phone call, visits and prayers
