New regime, Day 2

Yesterday was a great day. In the morning, I had the stitches out of my head. I was expecting the worst, but it was totally fine (I nearly said "lovely", because I had a lovely chat with the two really lovely nurses who did it)! I am clearly Well 'Ard. Just saying :-)

Next we went along to the hospital for my first session on 'the stuff' (the chemotherapy). I had no idea what to expect, this is a new kind of treatment I've never had before. Turns out you sit in a big comfy chair in a little bay for 20 minutes with another really lovely nurse, having another really lovely chat. The stuff goes in through a drip in your arm, but you don't really notice because you're chatting about the new cafe on the high street. The drip drips through, then off you go with your bag of drugs.

So it was all very painless! I have to take more drugs in capsule form for the next nine days (plus the anti-sickness ones to go with them), but then I've got the rest of this six-week cycle off. Ten days on, 32 days off. Not too bad at all!

I am mightily relieved. I didn't know how long it would take, or what the room would be like, how I'd feel as it was going in, how I'd feel afterwards...etc etc. Today, I feel absolutely fine. So far, the main after-effect is a hot tip about the best new cafe on the high street!

I know it's only Day 2, but so far so very good.  Onward!
