Ifosfamide

I’d planned on posting an update yesterday but I was being sick. I’ve reacted quite well to most of the chemo. I've sometimes felt a little queasy but yesterday I was on ifosfamide - watch out for that stuff it's the real deal. Eventually, the nurse injected me with some anti-sickness juice which worked after a while. It was just as well since the timer on the chemo pump said 9 hours left. I'm not sure id have coped with that from 7pm onwards. 

Anyway, all well now and on Cytarabine instead which seems to be sickness free so far. Its quite sensitive to my movements and is followed by an all-nighter which I’m hoping will be less sensitive. Its no fun being woken by a beeper to say that I’ve turned over. (it actually says “occlusion upstream” which means its blocked because I’m lying on it or twisting it. Bear in mind that this is inside my left arm.)
