Well the support of friends has been amazing! My social life was pretty great already but I seem to be constantly meeting friends for breakfast or lunch out - better enjoy it while I can.., I find I ...
Still no nausea - yay! Lots of indigestion and a blurry head and my mouth tastes yuck.... normal for this stage, I guess. I had a day out yesterday and went to a "Look good, feel better" workshop - it was fantastic! Had lots of fun and the most important bit was meeting other women going through the same thing I am and comparing notes. Four of them had already lost their hair so I had al lot of useful information from them ;-)
I went to a naturopath on the way home and picked up some organic bubble bath, epsom salts and essence of ginger for a long soak in a bath.Showers are awkward with this PICC line.. she also recommended slippery elm bark for the indigestion. I stirred a teaspoon full in to a glass of warm water (as instructed on the pack) but it turns in to glug and tastes just like what it is - tree bark.... I am searching for ideas to make it taste better before I try it again today!
