Paul had many visitors today while I was at work: A friend with whom he enjoyed building a Lego motorcycle, Rima who stayed for a few hours, then Imad.

Mrs de Beaufort gave him a french lesson.

He went to the playroom and played with Tom.

He is still under antibiotics and the swollen lymph node at the groin has consequently shrunk and is hurting less.

In the afternoon, he had a strong nausea and a headache. Cisplatin is the chemo drug that is the nastiest in terms of nausea. We can't believe it's the last time he takes it (no more in next two cycles).

Paul hasn't eaten much over the whole day.

He finally had a nap in late afternoon after a take of painkiller and anti-nausea medications.

Then Vlad visited. He showed him his own scar and told him about the titanium in his arm.

Anne-Marie is doing the night.

Paul will be discharged tomorrow...for a two-week luxurious rest at home (hopefully).

  1. Morning Paul,

    Wish you the best during the two weeks of rest at home.

    I would very much love to take the opportunity and have you, mum and Clara for a meal at a resturant of your choice on Saturday or Sunday in the afternoon.

    Please let me know if you will be OK to do so. I seriously miss chating to you. However , I fully understand that you may wish to have quite time at home.

    My love for you.

  2. Found your blog while searching. Forgive me if this is not helpful or welcome. My daughter is likely on same protocol for osteo, and she was precribed Emend for nausea. It has saved her from having a feeding tube and greatly reduced her nausea during all treatments, including cisplatin.

    Very best wishes.
