It looks like I’m reacting to one of the chemo drugs, capecitabine. First constipation, then nausea and a desire to be sick (except that I can’t be). Ondansetron is the only thing that seems to hit it (I had some and ate 2 bowls of soup), but there’s only so much you are allowed.
(Ondansetron is the drug that my son the Biochemist worked on – thanks son).
Anyway they’ve knocked me off this chemo for today, pushed me to the limit of what I’m safely allowed for Ondansetron and they will ring me in the morning.
So I wait. My wife is worried, and, yes, I am worried as well. I have faced worse and won through, but this is a blow.
So I’m going to bed. Probably not to sleep or dream, just to lie there being grumpy and bad-tempered. Well I’m good at that, lots of practice.
Fine to be grumpy, bad-tempered and scared. Most of us would be the same. And we couldn’t write a funny blog, either, so you are one-up on us! Julie xxx
Bad as it is and is going to be, its all for a positive future.
