Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I just got the news that my chemo starts next Thursday. Mixed feelings as part of me wants to crack on;the other side reminds me of all that's gone wrong before with chemo.

It may be different this time Dreamy.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

What good news that the infusions and transfusion are doing their work in helping you get your strength back.

I hope you are feeling hopeful that the plan is working to get you treated. You can do this - you've done it before!

Take good care of yourself and enjoy those mild temperatures!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I've been eating a lot, as well as drinking those Ensure pluses.

I feel fine; I don't think there's much wrong with me physically,but today my own tan of consultant and specialist are back from holiday. (I wonder if they went somewhere together?).

So they will both see me abd decide upon a course of action which will include chemo on Thursday according to Dr Scott.

That is good to read that you are eating Dreamy. You will need to be fit for chemo.
They might send you home, so you must ask for a care package.
Keep us posted.x

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I join SP in being really pleased to hear you are feeling stronger.

What do you attribute to the marked improvement? The transfusion? Certain medications?

Keep eating!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I think just time plus plenty of sleep and good food - the food in the hospital is excellent.

Today I'm at home for a few hours - a mini-break you might say as I've been in hospital for 2 weeks and have roughly another 2 to go while I finish my chemotherapy which starts tomorrow.

I believe they want to monitor my symptoms and see if I become quite as gravely ill as I did when I was going in daily and weekly for my chemo, ie. Will I become delirious again. I certainly hope not; of all the conditions I've had, Delirium ranks right up there at the top as the very worse. Getting ill but not realising it; believing in strange things and patterns; being unable to explain my delirium to strangers because I was delirious; I'll be glad to slay that dragon.

So today I'm just having a few peaceful hours at home, sorting my washing, bringing in a different mobile phone charger etc. bits and pieces, just tidying up. I've got a very understanding Consultant who sees my need for this and it's at an apt point - right before I start chemo again.

I don't think I'll be posting much as my phone keeps wanting to knock me off the site by not accepting my password. It's easier dealing with computer woes with an actual computer.

So off I go for my chemo tomorrow, wish me luck!

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I wish you luck Dreamy.
If you have time 3 are doing a good deal on PAYG Sims, for £10 you get a lot of data.

Take care, get some peace at home.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. X

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I've been buying their £20 PAYG add-on which gives me 12GB (and I need it, there's not much to do in hospital) and seems the best value. I really don't want to move from 3 as I've had that number for a couple of years now. 12Gbs is plenty for forums, news, browsing and a spot of YouTube. Gone are the days when the hospital had free wi-fi.

One thing: I still can't really get round the donations I made. They were sandwiched around a period of delirium. That is, the first one I made was when I wasn't fully there mentally.

But I don't want my 2K back - it really is an excellent charity. And it would be bad form to ask for any money back. Just looking at my money, I've got a fair bit less than I used to, though still plenty.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Oh yes you have plenty of data.
I can't think why you get signed out of here.
I went through a stage of that happening.

Anyway your donations were given with good intentions, and they will help others.

I pray your chemo goes well Dreamy.
I know you are scared, I would be too.

Hopefully you can keep us posted.
