Well here we sit in the Guildford Nuffield, Treatment Room 5 with the click swish, click swish of the drug delivery machine - it is 3.30 p.m. and Emma is most of the way through her chemo and anti sickness cocktail and so far so good. She had about 1 hour of sleep before lunch, a bowl of soup and some egg sandwiches. A pretty good lunch for Emma. New hospital for chemo, new nurses, new drugs, new consultant and generally a different regime. It feels like we have had new broom sweep through and this can only be a good thing.
Now we have arrived home and Emma is in pretty good form, if really tired. It went well today with the worst side effect being 5 minutes of a tingly bottom! Emma has a much smaller bag of anti sickness drugs than she had before and the oncology nurse thinks that Emma will tolerate this combination of drugs pretty well. Even if there are any nasty side effects then there is 24/7 cover at the Nuffield - another improvement on the Mount Alvernia. We will hope and pray that the lack of side effects continues. Anyway I am going to fly now, but just to say thanks to everyone for their messages and practical delivery of support and for your prayers. We are so lucky to have you all. With love. God Bless.
