My blood counts were good again, so I had the first part of the second cycle (they call it 2A) of this new chemo today.  The boosters seem to work.  The chemo went really well, I had no reaction this time, no hot flushes, and no nausea.  And, I finished at 4.30pm, and managed to avoid the rush hour.  Michael and Ruth could not pick me up today, but it was fine, the journey back on the tube was not too bad today.

Oh, I have not mentioned, but I am off to Playa De Los Pocillos (near Puerto del Carmen) in Lanzarote, Spain next Tuesday after my chemo on Monday!!  My mum and step dad are off there for a two-week holiday, and mum said they have room in their bungalow and invited me to join them.  I asked my medical team about going, and to my surprise they said yes!  They do not like me traveling far in case something goes wrong, but since I am only going for 5 nights, they said I can go, but I will have to take my boosters, a letter from the doctors explaining what to do if I get ill, and some prophylactic antibiotics if I get fever.  I am so excited about leaving London again, and going somewhere warm and sunny!
