@tomrennie At the moment I'm exhausted, hiccuping a bit, with a grumpy gi tract and headache. I'll feel much better when i get the fluorouracil removed tomorrow. I can't ever sleep with it, but that could be the dexamethasone they give me pre-chemo. I'm on dose 11 and they've been cutting doses since dose 4 so it's easier than it used to be but I'm slower to recover. The neuropathy got suddenly bad after dose 8 and they dropped the oxalyplatin entirely. I didn't weigh enough to decrease it. I didn't think chemo would be a picnic but i wanted to at least try to live longer so it's worth it. There have been really good days with friends and family and doing fun things.
