Today consisted of a single injection of something designed to keep up my white blood cell count (and hence infection resistance). It has numerous side-effects, one of which is sleepiness - guess what I've been doing most of the day? The second, which I'm keeping a close eye on, is bone pain. I rather suspect that this might be the cuplrit that has put me into a wheelchair, rather than the chemotherapy itself. However one can't be sure as they are administered so close together. The waiting game now begins in earnest; the consultant will decide in three weeks whether or not this regime is working. I do hope so because there are few alternatives.
The sleepiness I referred to above may last a day or two, so I'm not sure there will be much to post about for a couple of days - however please don't give up checking on me!
On another note altogether, I don't know how many of you have seen the video of the motor-cycle cortege accompanying Simon Batten's hearse to his funeral. I've corresponded with Bren so I know she won't mind me pointing this out to you. It's an amazing show of support by his fellow bikers, who came from around the world.
