On the plus side, they've moved me back to my own room on Ward 8; I like it here, so much quieter and peaceful than other wards.
I am pleased about that Dreamy.

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.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

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.

Still waiting - feel like might faint from hunger and thirst.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

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.

You are in good hands and in my thoughts.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

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.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

It's just more endless waiting. I wonder what the world record is for not eating, sleeping or drinking water?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

The OP was meant to be yesterday; I've been nil by mouth since 12:00 yesterday lunchtime.

I've been told the OP will be today but not when.

Well you should be allowed to sip some water every so often. Please speak to your nurse!

I was allowed half a small cup last night and half a small cup today so far.
