1st Chemo down

Had my first chemo a week ago today... it was and wasn't what I expected.  Very icky tummy (no vomits tho) and a kind of reflux, and a few other effects, but on the whole, I survived!!  The weird one was loss of taste (which is slowly coming good). 

My chest is still fairly sore from the portacath (which actually feels like its stabbing me sometimes!!) but, fingers crossed, that will all settle down in the next few weeks. 

Went back to work yesterday, thank goodness, it was great being back with my 'work family' and feeling a bit normal!! 

Anyway,  truely hope that all of you are all well & happy,

Maxene xx
