Best laid plans and all that.
When I went to bed last night I had intended to get up this morning, have a shower, breakfast and go for a walk.
That all went by the board as I spent a good deal of last night on the loo with diarrhoea. It wasn't too bad but coupled with the stomach ache I did not have a good night. Diarrhoea is yet another side effect of pertuzumab. I hope it doesn't last for much longer as it compounds my embedded knackeredness.
As it happens I did eventually manage a shower, breakfast and walk, just not until late morning early afternoon and my walk was to the end of the road and back rather than round the block. Still at least I managed something.
It's only been 5 days since I had my pertuzumab but it seems to have been the longest 5 days ever.
I am hoping that this regimen follows the 3 week cycle I did 5 years ago, as I can cope if I know that I'm going to have crappy (quite literally) week, followed by a couple of decent ones.
Another side effect which is that I am suffering from a near permanent nose bleed. It's not a gusher just a chronic constant trickle.
