You poor sod.

Hopefully your body will adjust to it over time, Vespa.

Best wishes.

It's weird. When the doctors tell you side effects vary some people have loads some people have none, you always assume you'll be in the none boat.

Nope, starts the drip about three minutes later I feel sick, have a headache about an hour later I feel like I haven't slept for a year and am cold despite being in a hospital room with a coat and hat on.

They send you home with a tablet you have to take twice a day which has its own unique tortures.

Getting out of bed to have a piss is harder work than a fall Ironman.

On the other hand you get to see other people who have it way worst than you and you should stop being a moany bitch. I've genuinely got it easy compared to some of the poor souls in that MDU.

I'm doing okay, still feeling rough. But I'm ticking the days off one at time.

Hang in there: stay positive. The NHS know what they're doing.
I might have done one - not sure but possible.

It's an amazing organisation, annoying to watch people deride it for no reason.

God bless you. All the very best and sincere wishes for a full recovery. You're in the best hands possible.

The only thing is that we do lag behind other nations in screening, scanners and oncologists. Something my tutor at University Karol Sikora was very angry about regarding the NHS although that of course if the fault of the government. Everyone should be screened regularly every few years. Better to catch early before symptoms manifest.
