Round 4 Day 1- more drama

Bumpy start … got there in the end. After promising the nurses I would behave myself it wasn’t long before I broke my promise!!!

Chemo administration was not without complications today … there was a clot at the end of my port, it was on the scan so not a surprise but ended up ending additional drugs to break it down. Not a major but slowed progress.

Once that was sorted … I had another reaction at the start of the drug infusion … not quite as exciting as last time … think everyone was much more aware this time. I gave them more advanced warning the nurses were on their toes to stop the pump. Came and went quickly again … shame there is no photographic evidence as apparently I turn all sorts of interesting colours.

The dose rate was slowed and the rest of the session went without issue. Given the good early response to treatment everyone seems very keen to do whatever is possible to continue with the current drug concoction.
