Dang, I'm a bit rubbish at this blogging lark right? I'm gonna try to keep myself to at least 1 post a week from now on - apologies for my poor performance up 'til now!
Right, first an update on the last couple of weeks - after the first couple of days of queasyness and tiredness from the second session were done with things proceeded much as with the first one... by the weekend I was 90% ok and the following week was fine - I worked most the week with no problems at all - even seem to have most my lifting ability back, tho my energy levels aren't quite what they were. But all in all, was fine for that week & a bit.
This Wednesday was the 3rd session, which actually counts as the start of the 'second cycle'. Most of the day proceeded as with the first two, so I wont go over things you've read before. This time round, as it's a new cycle, had to have a brief meeting with a consultant to go over my bloodtests and confirm I was ok to go one with the treatment. It really was brief, basicly everything's ok - apparently my white count is a little low, but within that the percentage of "badass cells" (can't remember the proper name), that do most of the bug - ass kicking, is high, so all's well. Weather was a bit rubbish this time for more woods-walking, but not actually raining (much) so I decided to walk into Sutton instead - bit more of a trek than I thought, but killed some time at least (and I got a new 'gorrila-pod' for my gangsta new camera, so that was fun). Got the bus back to the hosp just in time to wait another 45 mins for the treatment :-)
The treatment was much as usual... Paula (my sister) was my designated driver for the day and she got me home in one piece. Had about half an hour at home before the tiredness hit me and had to hit the sack. Woke up at 7ish - didn't actually feel too bad, but then I tried to actually get up - bad idea - was quite violently sick, which wasn't very pleasent (the Gregs steak bake I'd had in Sutton came back to haunt me!) - fortunately had a bucket to hand at least. Continued t0 feel a iffy for the rest of the evening, but managed to get some dinner down me at least.
Yesterday was better - slept late and continued to feel tired most the day, along with occasional bouts of queasiness between anti-nausea pills, but wasn't too bad really. Appetite still not quite back to normal but I'm sure that'll come within the next couple of days. Today's been much like yesterday really, only woke about an hour ago - still feeling a touch dodgy but I think that might be 'cause I'm typing about being sick and it's bringing up bad thoughts! Just took an anti-nausea - hopefully that'll do away with it.
Think I'll leave it there for now. As usual, thanks for all your kind messages and sorry if I didn't get back to them. Until next time (which will hopefully be sooner than last time!). Love ya all,
