Start of day 4 of 5 of my first chemo drip in hospital. Going mostly ok. This morning tummy feels 'fragile' but stable, no more 'mild hangover' feeling, no more acid reflux. Hoping yesterday was the worst of the Cisplatin side-effects (administered first night). Slept well. 36 more hours of the 5FU drip and then I go home.
