Days 6/7 – Starting to get some energy back, got out a couple of times today … including dinner on the beach. Developed a rash which is a very common side effect of the new drug … I was advised there is chance I could revert to being a teenager and break out in acne … at this stage it is minor, not sore or itchy and confined to the chest.

Days 4/5 – Continuation of the same theme. Slight nausea, low energy. But lots of good football results over the last 24 hours (2 NZ teams top of the A League and a chance for LFC to go 8 points clear overnight)… shame the AB’s were so untidy.

Day 3 – Following a similar pattern to round 1. Limited appetite, slight nausea at times, bit of a lack of energy but generally ok.

Day 2 – Quiet day, continue to feel well.

Day 1 – Had round 2 of Chemo administered today, no immediate adverse reaction to the newly added drug. In fact no side effects yet … so seemly similar pattern to round 1 at this very early stage. Slow release drug being infused over the next 2 days.
