This lot of chemotherapy finished on Sunday. Sunday on E10 is very peaceful - there weren't many of us there and there was time for a chat and a laugh with the staff. I seem to have withstood this round of chemo reasonably well so far, though I know that I may feel more tired in the 7-10 days to come.
Yesterday we had a visit from no 1 daughter. It was lovely to see her - she is very faithful about popping up to see us when she has a free day - yesterday was her last free day until the end of March! She did my hovering too (can't be bad).
Today I was in Addenbrookes for a blood transfusion as the chemo has knocked my haemoglobin levels. Two units of blood takes 3 hours, so I arrived just before 8:30 and escaped at 12:30 - thanks to the two friends for lifts. A colleague from work popped in to see me while I was tethered to the pump, so that helped to pass the time. I'll be back at Addenbrookes on Thursday for more blood tests.
Funny story from the weekend: I made a cup of tea for Andrew, his mother and me in the afternoon and couldn't find my current favourite monster mug. We all looked for it in all the usual places I leave things - no mug. So I had to use a different one. Later on when Andrew was cooking dinner he opened the microwave to put the vegetables in and ... there was my mug full of cold tea! Brain, what brain?!
