I had my CT scan yesterday, no issue putting the cannula in. Took the girls to Bournemouth and they had a fab time. I was fortunate to arrange a consultation with Barbara Cox who runs Nutrichef at the last minute whilst I was in the area. This was extremely educational and I will share what I have learnt from her when I have put my plan together.
This morning I went to have my bloods taken. Three people and 4 attempts later I was feeling queasy. All I could think of was I could really do with a packet of Tooty fruities. As I hadn't got my purse on me I remembered I had brought in the left over Christmas cake to share at work and that hit the spot.
I went back this afternoon to meet with the Pharmacist and I was there for an hour going through the medication and the possible side effects and we discussed the ways to manage them. I am taking 2100mg of Capecitabine twice a day shortly after food. 1 cycle is 2 weeks of the daily dosage then 1 week off and I am on 6 cycles initially.
Wasn't a brilliant day with one thing and another and when I got home it got worse with Holly just being a typical teenager which I didn't ignore. All calm now, first dose taken and they have stayed down. I was told to take my first dose in the evening rather then the morning as for some reason this minimises the side effects.
I feel prepared but still anxious. The great news about today was that my blood test results were brilliant with only 1 area of concern instead of 4 in my liver functions. Can't wait to see my scan report.
Well off to bed now will keep you posted ...
PS Wend that was the first album I ever bought!
