Hi All,
After 48 hours of throwing up everything I ate, drank or even thought about the oncologist decided that I wasn't up to the chemo and has postponed it until the 12th April.
To beat the sickness they've started me on two further drugs Levomepromazine whose primary use is the treatment of schizophrenic brain troubles but in low doses wards off sickness very well (so I'm told - by the oncologist not by any dubious alter-ego). Also Dexamethasone which is a steroid to help with appetite. This takes the grand drug total to 9 a day. Rattle, rattle. To be honest I'm glad for the delay. The thought of chemo next week was not sitting too comfortably.
The good news is that the nausea has 100% gone after just one dose. Hurrah! Off to Nick & Sarah Hearn's tonight (our good friends) for the evening. On Sunday a friend of mine is getting married and I'm off to the wedding. Perhaps I'll post a picture of me in my slim fit suit!
Have a good weekend everyone.
God Bless

Wow and wow again - the boat looks lovely and isn't it big? She will keep you occupied Mr R, getting her all ship shape, ready for the glorious summer that is just around the corner. (I guess she is a she especially if her new name is going to be Florence).
Good to read that your sickness has been resolved with your latest drug - being sick is horrible and very embarrassing when it comes upon you so quickly. I bet you do shake, rattle and roll if tipped upside down and thrown about a bit. You know that being underweight is better than being overweight - perhaps now you will be able to eat lots, drink loads and keep it all down. And did you also know that drinking 2 glasses of red wine a day equates to 60lbs of fat a year (or so I've been told). It certainly works for me!
Have a great time at your friends wedding - I love weddings, the dressing up bit, the joy and happiness in sharing such a wonderful occasion with lots of special people, the cake, the dancing - I wish I were coming too! Have a good time, lots of love x x x Jacks & Don x x

Hi Slim,
Looking good and as handsome as ever in the pics...stll smiling Mr. Happy.
Very jealous of the boat....looks grand. It is Neils dream to have a narrow boat when he retires...he dreams of us just taking off whenever the fancy takes. I don't mind, as long as I can plug in my hardrier! He doesn't have that problem!!!!
Hope the weather stays good for the wedding....guess you are borrowing Flo's purple high heels again? I bet you look good in her frocks now too.....
Glad to hear that everything is staying down now, what a waste of gin otherwise!
Well, brave friend, the prayers keep coming, and the love keeps flowing your way.
Have a great week,
Sianaroonie.
PS...no puppies yet, but I think she may just be in the first stages of labour...watch this space,,,,,,
