It's been pretty quiet since Christmas really, they only do chemo and that in office hours by the sounds of it so I haven't had anything done at all. The odd anti-fungal drip and bag of blood but really it's been very quiet. I'm feeling really good, getting tired a lot but that's probably more from just not actually doing a hell of a lot, just laying around in bed, plus I keep waking up at just after 5AM, wide awake and starving hungry... damn steroids.
But yeah my friends and my family have all been in and that, was good to see everybody. Result-wise everything's been pretty good, in fact they even let me go home and sleep in my own bed last night which felt pretty weird but it was definitely good to get out of the Hospital, though obviously I was straight back in this morning. Still, hopefully if everything is fine today they'll let me sleep at home again. I'm going down for a chest scan in about 15 minutes and then I can get straight on the drips I need so hopefully I should be back home this afternoon! Best not to get my hopes up though probably.... besides I just ordered lunch :)
The scan all went fine, the radiographer said there was nothing on there to worry about though he didn't mention the mass of lumps near my heart that did pop up on the CT Scan. But that was due to the fact a the heart scan was literally just of the heart, nothing around it, it can't penetrate air so theres no chance of you seeing anything through the lungs. I'm having my vincristine and daunorubicin drips at the minute and hopefully after the they are done and the consultant's seen me again I should get to be properly discharged! I've got all my appointments booked for the next two weeks, I don't have any more chemo until wednesday so it's going to feel weird not coming in to the hospital tomorrow. Though having said that I think I've got that appointment with the guy from ENT about the fluid in my ears tomorrow so I may be dropping in.
I've got a lot of information I think I need to start writing up really about drugs and treatments as well as the lifestyle stuff they've been through with me. To be honest it's all fairly straight forward, common sense stuff... though I am still gutted I won't be eating out or from takeaways for a long old time... but still they did say I could drink a little bit... definitely going to be ringing in the New Year with a bloody mary...
