77. Day 2 (after chemo 4)

Well, well, well.  Pretty much sums it up. 

I lazed around in bed some of the morning, expecting to feel icky but didn't, much.  Took ALL the anti sickness pills, had several drinks, ramped it up (ooooh, daring) to a little Heinz tomato soup and later onto a small bowl of my frozen lentil soup. 

I felt OK.  Hey, who'd have thought?  Certainly not me. 

Later, I braved going out to the supermarket with R.  I found some new fluffy pyjamas AND managed to shop.  And didn't collapse when I got home.

How can chemo 4 be better than any of the others?  I kept expecting some sort of ill effect to kick in but nothing did.  OK, the steroids DID keep me up half the night and I did need to up the anti sickness meds by the evening but nothing major. 

Later, R's mate came round.  I felt a prat sitting in my pj's in front of a bloke I don't know.  Totally weirded out when he put his arm around me and pecked me on the cheek.  He's a nurse, so I understand the compassion, but, really, NO!!!
