Thanks Nelie and Jerry,

I have had no problems today with bleeding, so I'm hoping it was a one off. I've stuck to cold drinks today, but if my RO says it's ok I'll start back on some warm soups tomorrow (I crave some variety!). I have to say that out of everything I've been through in the past 16 months this was probably the most scared that I've felt - thankfully it was only 10 minutes of terror!.
