Day 1 of 126

 Now we begin the treatment - the first day of 126. They warm up your hands and then find a nice vein. Lyn, I fear you would not be a good candidate for this! The first treatment is very long as they take their time to inject 5 different chemicals into you.

 But the first one they give you is Phenagan which makes you very drowsy and  helps to relax the body so that it is not shocked by the other chemicals to follow. They laz boys have been well used - I almost wish I had a more supportive chair. Olwyn had warned me about feeling "antsy" and wanting to move around all the time, so I knew it was just a couple of hours of discomfort, and promptly went into a fitful sleep. The nurses say I snored - but I think this might have been a little joke.

 Now the treatment is starting to be injected. I have woken up and had a hearty lunch of sandwiches and Mystery Mushroom Soup.  Patsy was a nurse in ICU for many years and then had a stint as a vet nurse, so I guess if you bark or whinny she will come rushing!

 The next drug must be administered slowly and under supervision. This is the one is the one that will make your hair fall out and make your pee pink. But I guess it has another job as well.

So six and a half hours later I tottered off. Sick and tired of sitting in a chair, so cooked dinner and even had a glass of wine. Feeling good today, but my mouth is very dry, but no nausea, so pleased with how  it is going so far. 125 days to go.
