Prochlorperazine Is Wonderful

Prochlorperazine is wonderful stuff.

I feel as though I am back from the dead after a couple of days on the stuff. My legs are getting steadier, my sense of balance is almost normal and I can even concentrate fairly well. I have even been able to Google around to find and order a herbal anxiety remedy for Ann from the internet and chase both Sky and Virgin up on the subject of accessible STBs for us. Sky are still thinking about it and Virgin don’t know if their box is accessible or not but at least I could make the effort.

Looking back to where I was on Wednesday my recovery is very satisfactory but I do wonder if I will relapse when I finish this course of medication.

This morning I sensibly took a cab into Sale and visited a few shops on foot in a rather cluttered pedestrian-only street before coming home on the bus. I couldn’t have dared attempt that since my last overnight chemotherapy session.

Mind you, Ann and I are both very worried about my next treatment. Actually I am terrified to think what side-effects I might suffer next time so I really hope they can adjust the regime to something much less harsh.

Of course the real issue is how effective it’s being and I can only listen to what my body is telling me. All my pains have gone including discomfort when urinating and the last few nights I have had to get up only two or three times.

Quite frankly my plumbing is feeling better than it has since all this started over two years ago. I hope that means that most of the cancerous growth has dispersed but of course it will be the MRI scan on September 1st that will give us the scientific evidence so I can only wait and hope.
