Niamh was sick last night about 90 mins after the chemo drugs. It lasted about 50 minutes and at the end she vomited a bit of old blood.
We were very concerned about it but the doctors don't seem too worried. They have prescribed ranitidine, an anti acid and some anti sickness medicine.
Niamh was okish during the day but still seems to have some pain or discomfort somewhere. Still no idea where it is coming from.
To make us worry more Niamh's bump on her head is reappearing. It is possible that she has some more pressure in her head that is causing this.
We are hoping to see the neurosurgeons tomorrow so they can advise.
The oncologist is concerned about it as we have now started cycle 4. He says that we may need to stop cycle 4 and start again once it is resolved. Hopefully it won't come to that.
So big prayers tonight that the bump will have disappeared in the morning.
We are now back on ward 15. Niamh has enjoyed a few rounds in the little car. She seems very happy to be out of the room in ward 6.
Oh Helene, the bad days must be really tough especially after a lovely few days at home, poor Niamh. Hope bump goes down and the discomfort and pain goes. Throwing up is miserable and 50 mins must have been awful. You're all doing an amazing job coping. Hope a much better day today and tomorrow, kiss to Niamh and hug to you, Pia x
