We saw Dr P yesterday. This was followed by the scheduled chemo infusion and (for the first time) a bisphosphenate infusion. The latter is intended to strengthen my bones against the side effects of the chemo. A summary below:

• I have still been feeling fine
• PSA was at last going down, albeit not by much (14, from memory)
• Dr P is happy with me. He reminded us he expected the PSA to start falling after about four chemo infusions.
• I have my next appointment booked with Dr P booked on 22 May, to be prefaced by
• a combined CT & bone scan on 16 May (my regular quarterly checkup).

All went well early until this morning, when I felt quite nauseated. Fortunately there was nothing in my stomach. I felt better after about ten minutes, after which I had tea, water, and dry toast. (I then branched out into adding some butter.) With a bit of food on board, I had an anti-nausea tablet. So I am feeling much better. I suspect the nausea was down to the bisphosphenate infusion, of which this was the first. So I am just having a quiet day. It’s cold anyway — expected max 18 — but it is very cloudy, so only about 11 outside.
