Re: I've had my chest x-ray

That is terrifying memories for you. But, this time you really are so positive. Don't forget to take some movies with you, for your stay. You could start a thread asking for recommendations, as I don't know your taste in films.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Oh, I'll find something on Netflix for sure. I quite like international movies, French, Spanish, Australian etc.

Part of the problem for me for ages was that I could only concentrate on anything for 15 minutes but that has passed. I've also got a couple of books I need to finish and will have the time in hospital to do this. One audiobook which I listened to the first 3 chapters about a week ago has been completely forgotten so I'll have to start again but I'll do it because it's part of a series I'm keen on.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Hi folks. Sorry I’ve not been around much these last few days, I’ve actually not been feeling very well at a time when I should be feeling my best ready for my next chemo on Wednesday. I don’t know what is wrong but I’m so tired all the time and now I’m having trouble sleeping. I try not to go to bed before 10 pm but after an hour or two I’m awake again. I’m going to take a couple of paracetamols before bed tonight to see if that helps.

Ffosse, it’s lovely to hear you sounding so much more positive and great that you are coming to the end of your treatment.

Sweetie, has your son heard anything yet, hope he is doing ok.

Take care both of you. xx

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

So sad that you're not feeling well, Val J - it sounds like the chemo might be having a cumulative effect. I've had periods where I've felt dreadful and not known why then a few days later I'm ok again. I do hope you feel better soon. You shouldn't be afraid to tell your GP and the nurses at the hospital just what's been going on and how you are feeling.

Take care.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Sorry to read you haven't been feeling too well, Val ... I hope things start to improve for you soon.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Ffosse, it's good to hear you're feeling more positive and I hope all goes well for you when you go into hospital on Thursday.

We are all supporting both you and Val here and sending best wishes to you both.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Thanks, Mags.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Val my boy is fine now, he was given some anti-inflammatory drugs, they seem to have sorted the problem out. The CT scan came back normal thank goodness.
Now the other twin has a problem with his leg swelling!
I think he hit a varicose vein, so does his GP. We will keep an eye on him.
You will remain in my thoughts and prayers as always.
Good luck for tomorrow my lovely.

Just as long as you have a distraction Dreamy.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Sweetie, I’m so pleased to hear the CT scan came back clear and that your son is well now. Hope your other son recovers quickly too. Thank you for your kind thoughts too. I’m feeling a lot better today, early start tomorrow but it will soon be over!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Thank-you Val. I am really glad you are feeling better today.
Chemo, when you are feeling rough, makes it worse.
