The chemotherapy session took place on Friday 27th July. We had to wait for ages before the treatment began because earlier in the day the computers had crashed and put everything behind as blood results etc. couldn't be accessed.
Now normally my friend feels terrible for the first few days, but not this week. What's more she is beginning to fancy food. Some of it is a little strange but no matter, she is eating more than she has eaten for weeks. Still not normal size portions but it is normal food.
So far she has fancied fish finger sandwiches, pate on oatmeal biscuits, poached egg on toast, chicken and roast potatoes, ham, new potatoes and beetroot. We are only talking about a portion that fits onto a tea plate, but it is better than a mouse or a cup of noodle soup.
Also yesterday 30th July, we managed a trip to the supermarket. I pushed her in her wheelchair and she took control of the basket. A triumph.
Today 31st July my friend is having a bit of a setback as she has a lot of pain, but hopefully this will pass now she has taken some medication.
It's not over yet, we will keep fighting all the way.
