No problems with the chemotherapy. The white blood cells had shot up and the change from Cisplatin to Carboplatin made the process much shorter. I was back by 3:30pm despite not starting in earnest until gone 11:00am.
I have not been to visit my family in South Wales since The Wales v France match at the beginning of March and that was a flying visit with Notoplip.
There are a number of members of the family that I consider myself close to and it will be good to catch up with them if they are around at short notice.
I have been using Skype video to keep in contact with my parents and it has also been a lovely way for them to see their grandchildren more regularly. The same can be said for Kitten's parents.
Aside from visiting there is also the motive that I will be able to get plenty of rest for a few days. I will miss Kitten, Huffy and Boogle, but the first few days of chemo is a little tricky so the peace and quiet that stepping outside my own little family will afford me will be a good investment.
The journey down may prove interesting but should be "do-able".
The only thing that remains is to train Kitten up in "The Way of the Blue-Ray" before I go.
I can see that sign on the Severn Bridge right now. To you it may say "Welcome to Wales" or "Croeso i Gymru" but to me it says "Home Sweet Home".
