At three this afternoon the pump started buzzing and beeping indicating that the 250 mg of 5-FU was gone. At five thirty the home call nurse arrived to separate me from my contraption.
FREEDOM ! How sweet to be able to move about without having to think about managing the pump. I'll be able to shower tonight and jog (weather permitting) tomorrow.
This first round went well with little side effects to report other than the "first shock" I get when I put any food in my mouth. The top of my head has developed some sensitive areas and occasionally I feel just a bit "out of it". There has been some minor irritation to my hands.
Perhaps I'm pushing the envelope but I'm going to listen to some old James Taylor music with a cold beer.
One down, seven to go my friends......... Mike
