24 hours post infusion

Eric is starting to encounter his first bouts of nausea.  In Dr Turner’s words Eric is feeling a ‘little delicate’. We haven’t resorted to the maxalon injections…yet.

The ‘uncomfortableness” began about 4.30 this morning  and Eric took a maxalon tablet early which helped for an hour or so.  The discomfort has gradually turned to a general malaise .  He is also experiencing his carcinoid flushing more regularly.  While Eric is not incapacitated he is certainly not his normal cheery self!
With the maxalon and navoban anti-nausea tablets Eric is managing, although as the day progressed he has certainly gone quiet and is quite prepared to rest or watch TV.

Eric had his second scan today as well as another series of blood tests.  There is another scan tomorrow, then he can rest for the weekend and then a final scan on Monday…then it’s home to Busselton.
