What a mixed day. Really lovely time at the ladies breakfast with a great speaker, great company and lovely food. Then really rubbish dialysis. needling went very well but the pressure in my arterial button hole was much too high and in the end after trying lots of different things we used a line and a needle and I only had 3 hours of dialysis. I spent much of the time in pain from indigestion which was probably caused by chemo. Then I bled for 1and 1/2 hours. All in all a rubbish session. So now I will have to go to have a fistulagram to see what is happening in my fistula. We will also start a new button hole to replace the bottom one. Very Ho Hum!!!!

From a chemo point of view it is OK. I haven't been sick which is brilliant. I have numb ends to my fingers and I feel like I have flu but it is better than being sick all the time.

I am feeling slightly despondent as this all feels like such hard work. Tomorrow a quiet day I think.
