I've heard that from a few angles, Donfoo. It may be down to the gold-plated private medical insurance I enjoy through my wife's work, or it may be out of caution because I reacted badly to *something* at the end of my first cancer treatment three years ago. In any case, evidence suggests that people do better when they are in hospital, as the professionals can deal quickly with anything that comes up. Although being tethered to this damned pump stand is not ideal.

Evening of day 4 of 5, things seem to be settling down, so primary side effects seem to have been from the Cisplatin and peaked yesterday (note that by Donfoo's model, I would have been home for that).

ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG! And I don't mean the chemo fog. Hoping to avoid that.
