Sick day today

Nausea and vomiting returns
I had a good morning and a very difficult afternoon.  I got sick after lunch, and ended up really struggling to control it.  Anti-sickness drugs weren't denting it, so in the end had to call Christie hotline for help.  They called community nurse to attend.  I was advised to take steroids and see if these helped settle stomach, which I followed.  It did in the end settle down.  The nurse was very friendly and was happy for me to wait to see if I needed the injection, and in the end I turned out to be fine.  I am very tired and about to go to sleep.

Occupational Health
I also had a visit from occupational therapist, who is helping me prepare for short term memory loss.  I have some homework to do.  She is also making sure that I know her, so that if I need more help as I progress through radiotherapy, then I will be comfortable with her.

Sarah McCall kindly came round and helped me a lot by chatting with me.  Louise came round later, too.  Thank you both :)

Martha and Katy come home tomorrow

I have a bald patch too - photo tomorrow

lots of love to everyone
