Had the 2nd dose yesterday afternoon, and I was surprised how quickly it went, tho I did fall asleep during the infusion. Unusual that as I had a very early night, 8.15, the night before.
By late evening I started to feel quite unwell, shivering but with sweats, been monitorining my temps and they appear normal-ish, 33.7-34.5. Aches did'nt start till the middle of the night as did the feeling of nausea, thank god I had those tabs still.
Alarm went off for work at 4.30, but the way I was feeling, there was no way I could make it at that time, so I returned to sleep. Woke again at 6.50 with the added symptom of a mouth full of ulcers and the taste that was like I had been sucking a lump of metal all night.
Gave up any hope of going to work and phoned in ,
Strange as it may seem , I am really missing work. I haven't been since the 21st March and I was really looking forward to it as I hadnt had any REAL side effects after my first dose, except the tiredness so I am disappointed to say the least.
Have made a call to the Chemo unit at Derriford just to confirm my symptoms and ask of any action I can take, just awaiting a call back now, they are very good. the nurses are all so helpful and understanding a credit to their profession. Can't be the easiest job in the world
Just had the call back from Chemo unit and my symptoms are to be expected tho have manifested themselves rather quickly! Nothing untoward to worry about :o)
With that GOOD news I will sign off and leave you all to enjoy your weekends.
Stay well and Safe ...oh and dont forget your Mums !!!!!
