Collected my chemo from Karen who made Shell's day by giving us a drug management chart. I'll have 8 courses of Xeloda (Capecitabine) over 6 months. Karen advised us to get a thermometer and acqueous cream - as well as nausea I need to watch out for fever and hand/foot syndrome (which, thriller fans, can erase fingerprints!). The most likely side effect is diarrhoea so we went to pharmacy to collect some Loperamide only to meet Bex on the way who sorted it asap.
Checked out my leaky stoma with Sharon and, of course, she could see nothing obviously wrong. Hopefully the fistula or whatever it was has healed. I have various powders and ointments to help heal the sore skin.
Hi Di
ReplyDeleteHope the chemo goes OK. Are you taking it easy?
