Same regimen but this time without the Doxorubicin, and I feel a lot better for it, so far no sign of nausea. Jan my nurse told me to take my other medication should it manifest itself again.
I finished my treatment at 1.00pm and then at 2 they booked me in for a heart scan as one of the drugs I'm on can affect my heart so they'll need to check that on occasion...( charming isn't it?).

So basically they are poisoning you and then giving you drugs that are anti this and anti that just so that it doesn't totally kill you...no wonder it has so many side effects.
Life is a paradox.

Scary thoughts. There's no really nice way to think about it. Chemo is noxious. This probably isn't helping.
I'm just waiting for the healthy Alex to shine through.
