Went in to Springfield today for my Velcade shot and a new bagful of chemo pills to start Cycle 2.Took the 20mg of dex while there, so it's a dex night tonight. And again tomorrow night...
Got home and did the Pill Organisation Thing, then off to the Belvedere Jazz Club with sax-playing friend Trefor for a superb evening of small band jazz with Vasilis Xenopoulos and Freddie Gavita. Just what I needed.
Have sent a note to the GP requesting a diuretic to attack the ankle & foot oedema, need to call in there over the next couple of days to pick up more MST and Amitriptyline (every time I write that I have trouble remembering where the 'y' goes!)
Tomorrow (or later today) I have to drive Sue to the Cardiology unit in Basildon for her angiogram and possible stent(s) fitting. We have to be there for 15:00 and the procedure is scheduled for 17:30. Allowing for a late start and a couple of hours recovery from the sedation, I doubt we'll be leaving for home very much before 22:00. They've told her to go prepared for an overnight stay, which seems quite likely.
I've used Fybogel occasionally. I think one sachet a day is probably not enough to be effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm taking things slowly and combining with senna, other things to come later. Seems to be working OK so far, and I don't want to tip things beyond the balance point into the other direction! Have been advised to try Laxido on the MyelomaUK forum and I've got a supply in, but holding back on that for the moment. The priority is to get Sue to Basildon Cardiology and back without unscheduled stops on the way!
