Drug Day - Rattle Redfern!

Saw my Oncologist this morning - no nasty surprises this week!

I've finally started chemo after the talk about all the side effects. I'm on a mixture of tablets and drip. The tablets started today.

This is what I'm taking:

Capecitabine - the chemo drug
Motilium - to speed up digestion
Cyclizine - to stop the chemo drug making me sick
Dexamethasone - a steroid to reduce inflammation around the tumour
Lansoprazole - to stop acid reflux
Co-Diovan - for blood pressure

From this point onwards call me Mr Rattle!

First chemo on the drip is next Wednesday (30th Jan).
