I didn't anticipate this chemo being quite so complex.
We are all here for you my friend.
Keep us updated if you are up to it. x

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
All the chemo has now entered my system. I now must have 3 or so days of constant infusion of saline and bicarbonate of soda until the last of the chemo has left.I've also to get twice daily blood checks and must urinate into jugs so that they can monitor my PH levels.Am feeling pretty tired and not very hungry although I have eaten today. TV in my room but the screen is tiny. Not worth watching. I have been reading and catching up with podcasts.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
It's so boring here. They're giving me water tablets after my weight has gone up with these infusions. But there's nothing to do all day and I can't concentrate to read.Yesterday my friend, Andrew came by for a visit, he's going through a different type of cancer so we swapped stories for a while, but I have the whole day in which to do nothing. And im fed up with all these different canulas and infusions.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
There is a day room but it’s too much hassle carrying my drip trolley everywhere and it needs constant adjustment by staff. Plus, staff have not really left me alone today, taking bloods, making infusions and mouthwashes that I haven't had much time to myself.|
