First lot of Chemo

Well I had my first lot of Vinoralbine yesterday, took them 4 goes to get the line in but it was delivered in around 10 mins then flushed through thoroughly with saline, it only started to hurt the back of my hand in the last few moments. I am hoping to get a portacath put into me so that will stop all that and make it easier for them to get my bloods too. I slept all afternoon - the heat isn't helping with that either but then woke up feeling different. I have had a pain in my right shoulder since about March and I have found out that there is a nerve that runs from my shoulder, over my diaphragm and to my liver. Now, if your liver is distended, which mine has been, it places pressure on this nerve and makes your shoulder hurt. The pain was greatly reduced in my shoulder yesterday evening and I was actually able to get comfortable in bed for the first time in months. I wasn't feeling as breathless this morning, I was actually able to have a shower without feeling as if I was going to pass out. I am still being sick, finding it hard to keep anything down but drinking Powerade until it comes out of my ears and this seems to be keeping me going. I have to say thank you to everyone who is supporting me and keeping an eye out for me, my phone has been red hot and although I may not be able to talk to you much at the moment, you guys are the ones who are keeping me going. Again. Love you all.
