Chemo has not been as easy as anticipated. The combination of the chemo drugs and painkillers resulted in uncontrollable nausea. A restless night and Kate was admitted to hospital this morning.
The nausea was much better by lunchtime today and hopefully can be controlled going forward. There is special anti nausea medication at the hopital. Having it kick in was like coming back to the living!
The first Chemo course is for five days and we plan to stay in hospital for this. So we will most likely spend the rest of the week there. Much more controlled than home. We may continue with the chemo today or otherwise tomorrow
The phantom limb pain remains - unfortunately we had an appointment with the pain clinic tomorrow but it now looks like this may not be possible, as Kate is not mobile at the moment.
One chemo treatment day down, 24 to go. So we are 4% there already. We continue to look for the light at the end of the tunnel!
Ah Katy - you poor girl. Glad you're getting some relief there in hospital but so wish things were easier for you. Lots of love Deirdre
ReplyDeleteHi there, sorry to hear things are so difficult. I really wish i could speak to you more often to cheer you up! Chemo is nasty whichever way so it's important to remember that it will be over at some point! Thinking of you lots and hang in there!
