I went in to Jimmy's last Tuesday. I started off in a shared ward but was soon given my own on-suite room. The chemo itself went better than I thought it would. No sickness, or anything nasty to speak of; apart from a bit of acid coming back up making my taste off and making me feel a bit queezy. Nothing I couldn't handle.
I had an infection in my Hickman line and therefore was given copious volumes of anti-biotics straight down the Hick-pipe. I'm not sure if it ws partly this or all the chemo but I now have swollen feet, ankles, head etc. I guess like last time I just have to wait for my body to say 'off with thee' and then spend the next 10 hours rushing to and from the toilet with sore a bumb!
In the mean time I am fat headed.
A big thanks to everyone that came and visited me; most appreciated and made the tme go so much quicker. The lumps in my neck have severely gone down and I look much better. I don't feel that great, it can only be described as a 'fog' all around me. I can't quite concentrate on anything properly for long. Saying that I have got most of my brand spanking new MacBook Pro set up. But that's probably me just being a geek.
Back in on Monday for a blood test and lots of hanging around. If there are any problems then I'm going to get this Hickman line out because despite all the agro of it coming out and then possibly going back in, NOTHING is going to spoil my holiday to Rome which is now only 2 short weeks away. I've been waiting 20 years to go back there and the time has finally come. TTFN.
