Cold medicine

Today we went to get Catherine her 'cold medicine' - it is called cold medicine by Catherine because it comes straight out of the fridge in a syringe before it goes into a central vein via her portacath. Today she didn't like it very much because there was a strange taste in her mouth as the Vincristine was being put in. Our specialist nurse told us that some of the older children do complain about a strange taste when they receive this chemo, although Catherine has never mentioned it before now! She is very tired this evening, and is sitting eating blueberries and raspberries whilst snuggled up under a blanket. I think her body is more effected by the chemotherapy drugs when she is otherwise very healthy, and she notices the tiredness more. She will also be on steroids for the next five days, so we will be buying more food! Looks like she'll be having an early night...
