Details on Food & Shop; Chemo Is Over! A Day Off!

I seemed to get through chemo without any problems at all. That said, on the last day, I did feel motionless and I found swallowing a little bit more difficult, which felt a little bit like heartburn. I have to admit, my tea drinking entities felt a little bit on my final day of chemotherapy!

After the four days of chemotherapy finishes, you get a day off for your body to recover a little.

The video details the food at the clinic and what you can expect and when you can expect it. As a quick rundown, you get four meals a day and when you are in isolation one of those meals changes to two baked apples and a piece of meat. It sounds weird but it's actually just what you want! Anyway, this video details the food situation.

My Physical Status in Chemo, Pills, Urinary Catheters and More!

Today is the fourth day of chemotherapy and I tell you how I am feeling in the video. Whilst my body is weakening, much of this can be put down to the decommissioning of my muscles through not doing nearly enough exercise by being confined to a small room every day! I explain a little bit about the process of chemotherapy again, including the regimen of pills and infusions. One thing that is worth mentioning as part of the chemotherapy is the sheer volume of infusions that you have to take into your body. As a result, that liquid needs to come out. I found it easier, especially considering sleep disruption, to get a urinary catheter, which are explained in the video.





Chemotherapy Time!

After you have your stem cells extracted, and this can take anywhere between one and three days (it took three days for me), you enter chemotherapy time. Chemotherapy is a four-day process in the Russian clinic and you receive quite a few litres of infusions throughout the day you get a main infusion in the morning full of quite a number of bags of liquid before receiving a pair of bags of infusions twice more throughout the day.
