Retrieved Maryse at 3:00pm after the six-hour dripfest. Quite a lot of relief in me to see her looking good, and feeling OK but so very tired. They told us to expect that.
AND the cancer patient instruction manual - What to do in case of the umpteen situations and reactions, who to call, when. Daunting. It's going to need study on my part to get when to take action and when not to. I've just stocked up on anti-nausea meds, and ginger, both root and capsules. I also understand that the 'cocktail' has some cortisone, so sleeping may be difficult - and so on.
I'm feeling a little lighter given the way she went through the first session, so far. The double whiskey I have in my hand is also helping somewhat. Purely medicinal of course.
Bottom line: So far, so good. More tomorrow.
