Steve has got much worse since yesterday morning. he was sick six times and he is the same today, he has a lot of swelling around his head and eye
i phoned the docs and got thou to NHS direct.
they asked if steve would go into hospital, had to say no as he wants to stay at home.
just need to get the swelling, pain & sickness sorted out.
the doctor will be here within an hour

he has not been sick but has been very wobbly and still deaf in one ear {thats the one i now swear in)
got to see the consultant again tomorrow to get the next week of chemo meds and am crossing fingers that they will give us more of the expensive anti sickness meds as they are doing the trick.

minesalargeone · 22/10/2007 22:26

serendippity · 22/10/2007 22:56

OJ, dp's sis is on anti sickness meds which have helped loads but i cannot remember what they're called, will let you know (you prob won't remember but she has an acousitc neuroma) she is totaly deaf in one ear and is almost compensating with her good ear.
