Today's hospital visit was the 1st intrathecal chemotherapy. This means that I had a lumbar puncture so that the doctor could remove 5 or 6 drops of spinal fluid for testing and then insert some chemotherapy straight into the spinal fluid. The best bit of this is that you have to lie flat for an hour afterwards so I had a very pleasant nap! I will have one of these a week for the next 3 weeks - every Friday.
The rest of the day has been quiet. We were looking forward to welcoming an old friend for dinner (chilli) but in the end he had an urgent work need to stay in Herefordshire so we had to make do with fish and chips - battered cod loin and fresh chips from our own potatoes.
