Away from my desk

I'm sorry not to have communicated recently. but I have been very ill. I had to reduce my dose of Capcitabine because of toxicity and initially this improved the side effects, but only for a day and then fatigue and abdominal pain returned with a vengence; so much so that I could not take the full 14 day course. Even after stopping the toxicity continued and I had to stop eating. On water alone by mouth plus Buscupan and Co-codomol the symptoms gradually settled and I woke at 4 am today feeling better. I am due to start the same regime next Monday.

Thanks for all the good wishes.

Chemo just sucks sometimes.....you have all my positive thoughts and prayer's for this next week and following ones. Just sleep until you feel better. Sleep is so healing when the body is in a state of chaos from chemo.

Chemo sucks.
