Cycle 3 completed without problem yesterday. All bloods good though I am low on iron and am now armed with appropriate ferrous tablets. For the 2 days after chemo I take 2 lots of anti-nausea pills so I have to be extra organised, carrying round my 'pharmucopia'!
I didn't have such a good week last week, with tender liver area. Had little energy and less enthusiasm for doing anything. Slept a lot! TG for summer and the chance to get fresh air and some colour while sleeping in the garden.
I did enjoy hosting our monthly bookclub meeting on Tuesday evening, when we had some good discussion of my book choice, Patrick Gale's Notes from an Exhibition, while nibbling some real Dutch cheese. This is a long running group (15+ years), most of us original members so we are very comfortable together. We take it in turns to choose the book of the month so we have a wonderfully varied selection, mostly novels but some poetry and biography, mostly not too 'highbrow' but occasionally we like to challenge ourselves. And they are very kind and supportive, so I know if I need any help or support we can call on them.
So I am going to take advantage of my three days after chemo when I feel quite (!) lively! Maybe I'll even do a little active gardening?
