Initially she thought there wouldn't be any side effects but by the fourth day afterwards she doesn't feel like eating, has stomach pain, trouble sleeping at night and feels tired a lot of the time. Mornings are her best time.

We're hoping this will soon pass but it may take several weeks before the stomach pain caused by the tumour close to the spleen starts to shrink as promised by the oncologist.

Having just got used to her new pixie hairstyle it seems possible she will lose her hair again. Apart from the physical impact of all of this there is also a psychological effect and it is difficult to avoid being depressed. Thankfully we have great support from our near neighbours/friends and of course all of you out there who are emailing, Texting and WhatsApping Jane on a regular basis - it gives her the strength to keep going, thank you.
