They say the antibiotics are working, my temps are down, but they're unsure what to do about this swollen mass that lies between my neck and shoulders at the back.
One consequence of this is that my chemo on Tuesday is cancelled; they couldn't go ahead with it until that mass is gone.
This means I won't be getting out anytime soon - they're now taking about the end of next week at the earliest. I don't know what the point of that 2 day stay was a couple of weeks ago, 20/20 but I told them it was my neck and shoulders that was bothering me then.
I am away for a couple of days Dreamy. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope that you don't become overstressed my friend.
I'm getting surgery sometime today. Had a Nil By Mouth sign since 12. Unfortunately, could mean 22:30 tonight
Mixed feelings and a fair bit of apprehension and anger - the biopsy caused the mass in my shoulder and neck.
Supposedly they are the best neurosurgeons in the world but that didn't really console me at this time.
Crikey Ffosse, I hope all goes well. It's amazing how quickly things have moved in the last few weeks. Life has a sense of humour that nobody finds that funny.
So I'm 2nd in the queue for Sun/Monday. I've been nil by mouth for far too long... No sleep, water or food, I feel exhausted and unable to deal with people.
