In A&E

Well I thought I was doing so well but last night had no sleep with trips to the loo every 15/20mins with urgent explosive diarrhoea (sorry!). I felt really nauseous but took my anti sickness meds and got that under control. Finally fell into a fitful sleep around 6am. I phoned my treatment centre hotline during the morning and they told me to get down to A&E. I did argue a little as A&E is not the place to be with a dodgy tummy! Anyway here I am waiting for blood results and a bag of fluid. I suppose they need to establish whether I have just picked up a bug or if my symptoms are side effects if the chemo. However it's not all bad - one of my daughter's very good friends is on duty and is looking after me very well.

Hope this finds you all as well as possible on this sunny afternoon

Oh Janine you poor thing, how awful for you :( Although I'm glad you're being looked after well and getting checked over. Hope the runs and nausea calm down and you get home soon. Let us know how you get on. Thinking of you xx

Thinking of you - isn't it awful how A&E can make us feel.

I so hope you were seen, treated and are feeling better.
