Day 6

It's very important to get into a routine. I failed that test this morning. I suppose it came as a result of a good night's sleep followed by Breakfast where everything seemed to be okay. I'm very anxious not to become a couch potato so I got ready to go for a walk to get the Sunday Paper. It was only on my way back from the shop that I remembered I had not taken the chemo pills. These should be taken twice a day at least 8 hours apart but within 30 minutes of finishing a meal. Clearly I have had to take these after Lunch which means the next batch are due shortly before 10.

The nausea is still not far away. I suppose this is inevitable as the tablets start to kick in. In these circumstances having something to distract you is a good thing. On Angel Radio I am due this Tuesday to interview an ex Headteacher whose life certainly sounds very interesting.

Coming back to the pills one thing we have learned is that although we have been given 2 weeks full supply if certain conditions happen then I stop taking them. Crucially the treatment timetable isn't held up as a result. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

I have mentioned on this blog the huge amount of support I have received from family and friends. Tye only part of my life where I have hard nothing is from anyone at BBC Tees but you never know.
