WZS, hope the nasty stuff does its good stuff without causing too many ill effects.Originally posted by doodab View PostNah, been back in since the 24th, pumped out a few gallons of fluid then a bit of a palaver with high potassium means they had to revise the initial chemo plan slightly to avoid killing me but they plumbed it all up a few hours ago so I'll be seeing in the new year with a dose of lump killing poison.
They are giving me some seriously good painkillers too, so not too uncomfortable at the moment.
Happy New year to you all
Sounds like a positive step. And you don't have to be in hospital to not have a party to go to - the CUK New Year party doesn't discriminate - all saddos equally welcome!

Hey, how goes the treatment? Have they given you the particularly horrible sorts? Are the clichés true or do you get decent anti-nausea meds?

Horrible depends on your tolerance really. I have a tube in my arm going into a vein near my heart, a permannent tube coming out of my abdomen to drain excess fluid, both or which are a bit grim but necessary.Originally posted by d000hg View Post
In terms of actual medicine, I did puke after the first lot of chemo meds went in, even with the anti nausea medicine, but the worst were some antibiotics that gave me really bad diarrhea for a day. That and this really strong glucose insulin mixture they give when you have high potassium, just cos it refuses to go through the syringe pump on normal settings so it's a total PITA. So I was quite ill for a week or so after the chemo but a lot of it due to the actual disease rather than the chemo.
Overall not too bad, and the initial signs are looking positive so far.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
