Yesterday I had chemo in the morning- a change from my last two sessions- and it went uneventfully. So much so that mum, Nigel and I all went out for lunch afterwards, enjoying the weather. 4 o'clock I went to bed for 2hours feeling ghastly. At 7 o'clock the lunch made an unattractive reappearance- but I felt significantly better for it and have been feeling a lot less nauseous ever since. Today just back into tired routine- have already slept from 11 till 3- and have started with the horrible taste and dry mouth.
I would like to think I was half way through this, but I think I have to get to the end of this cycle before I can claim that- although it is nice to know that I only have 3 more actual chemo days left.
Nigel has been taught how to give the injections from monday onwards, and is obviously well up for it- that is probably why he took up dentistry! The instructions tell him to try and find some abdominal fat which will of course be a challenge for him!! Apparently alongside a bad back they can also give severe flu like symptoms- fever, chills and body aches. Hurrah again!
I am trying to remain as positive as possible, but sometimes have difficulty finding an 'up' side to any of this!!

Hey Sue...Eric here from Az. We have been tracking with you through the blog and are practicing our healing prayer with you (thought that might encourage you!). We love you guys and miss you terribly. We love the updates! Let Nigel know I've emailed bunches, but don't know that he gets them. We know you've got lots on your plate, so tell him to call when he can. We love you guys!
Keep going both of you. Daily you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love U XX
