Hi Alison
I have my last dose on Monday and hopefully thats it for me. Dont worry about off loading, I think it helps to write it down and have someone read it, especially someone who knows exactly how you feel.
I have been quite ill this week, sick in the tummy, aching arms and legs and generally feeling unwell. This is quite unusual because usually the last week before the next round, I get to feel well enough to go to the shops and visit my mother or daughter.
It is unfortunate you are unable to have more time off work, they say it takes from 6 to 12 months to recover from this. Do you have income protection?
I hope you cope ok when you get back to work. The main thing is to look after yourself.
