Two more days to go. Subjective time has slowed down of course, so it seems like a long time but it will soon be over.
This week is proving quite challenging. I can rarely clear the mucus in my throat and if I try too hard I tend to throw up, which isn't very nice. So mostly I try to tolerate it but it makes sleeping very hard. They lent me a nebuliser but I am not convinced it helps much.
To add to the problems my PEG doesn't seem overly happy after it was changed last week. I am seeing the nurse tomorrow in case there is an infection :(
The doctor also warned that next week the cumulative effects of the whole treatment will hit me and I will very likely feel even worse for a week, though things would then start to improve. Fingers crossed it's not too bad. He confirmed that I was handling the treatment well, my blood counts were all good, and I was fine for my final chemo (which people often skip if they are struggling)
Still, it *is* the final week, which is a good thing, and I can't wait until Friday when I have had the last treatment and I can come home and start working on recovery.
