Chemo, an interesting stop on my journey

Well, when a nurse says "here come your ants in you pants" you know you are in for an interesting experience. To explain...they give you a drug that quickly follows with extreme itching in your places where number 1s & 2s are usually from. When asked why that happens, they couldn't explain! Luckily it lasted only a minute or two.... So, saw doctor first and he measured the lump (2mm change but could be error because only manually measured). Went thru procedure and filled out my insurance claim. Nice guy. He has studied for 17 years to be where're he is. Went in st 10.30 and left at 2. Pippa had a look at the time but I must admit I was feeling quite apprehensive. I was glad that pip was there ( yeah pip!!) Got drip in left hand. Had 1 liter saline,red stuff, another bag of stuff and then another bag of stuff. Nurese was lovely and went thru everything with me. It's a big room with lots of comfy chairs. Probably about 20 people wine thru with me and I took the longest. BC treatment can take a while. Generally she said about 2.5 hours but I think they took it slow for my first time. Started feeling clammy and sweaty around half way but that was ok. Not sure I had a small alertly reaction with last drug. Got itchy arm and face. Wasnt sure whether it was physco semantic (sic) but they took know changes and gave me an antihistamine and some cortisone. So with that and anti nausea drugs I'm full of shit! But hey, that bloody lump is now going "what the #%*£? Is this!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhh So tomorrow, I have to go to local surgery and have another injection (anti allergy) they said I could do it to myself. Jab intummy fat. But was worried whether I had enough so thought a professional should do the first one. Also have to continue with anti nauseas for couple of days. So I feel ok now, bit funny in the tummy but ok. Had some avocado for tea and it tasted yuk. Side effect is a metallic taste in mouth. They say to use plastic cutlery because metal spoons etc can make it worse. Anyway. Ended updating tea with mostly fingers. Have a shopping list to do. So, all ok so far. As u may have guessed from tone of email, I feel more positive. Let's see kwhat the next couple of days bring. Byrne for now The incredibly chemically toxic Kay (with a lump that's goin ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!) Sorry for no paragraphs for some reason didn't work
