- first night trying to sleep after chemo
- awake most of the night with aches, pains, fever
- 38-40 degree temperature
- added 5kg of fluids/ body-weight overnight
- difficulty breathing (on 10L/min of oxygen – more than top gun)
- diuretic was added to the cocktail of drugs to fast-rack the disposal of fluids (toilet every 30 mins)
- Everything gets measured here… (so you pee in a bottle every time)
- things improved markedly during the day
- 1 x Idurabacin for the day (off day for the chemo regimen)
- decided to give me diuretic to shed some of the excess fluid (what they give you, they want back)
- weighed in at 92kg in the morning after additional fluids given during the night to stabilise me
- further chats with John, Jan and Lachy about implications of participating in the drug trial vs special access scheme for newly approved American drug

Hi Geoff just driving to Sydney for Becks last chemo session on Thursday – I asked her to read your blog to me for an update on how you are going – I admire you for what you are obviously going through every minute of every day and appreciate the way in which you deliver your daily blogs to your family and friends👍As beck has done since her diagnosis is literally taken one day at a time – some days better than others although from this we are starting to see success – think of you often – best wishes Steve
