After an alright night's sleep (still getting woken up for blood pressure tests and drip changes) I headed off to the fertility clinic again and seeing as I felt a hell of a lot better this time everything went alright. This was a big weight off my mind.
As soon as I got back they got me down to surgery to get my line put in. Seeing as I was just 2 platelets short of the recommended amount I had to have some more of them as well so my blood clotting would be fine.
The Line itself means that all the blood tests can be taken straight out of that, without having to worry about stabbing me with a needle and the drip chemicals can all go down it as well as any of the chemotherapy drugs.
I was given another local anaesthetic in my chest and some mild sedation so I was kind of awake but the whole thing was pretty relaxing, there was only a bit of sharp pain. Though at the minute, seeing as I'm pretty skinny, my chest is fairly bruised, but that should all calm down in the next few days.
So I also started the first chemo drugs, nothing really to report, I've got a bit of a mild headache but that's really started to go now. I had a quick chat with my main Doctor but really there isn't a hell of a lot to report, I'm responding well to the treatment so far, I'm going to need a scan of my chest to get done that's one of the next things.
But really today wasn't all that busy, managed to get a bit of sleep after my Line was put in and yeah, everything's gone alright. I'm not going to be getting out Christmas Day but I don't mind that so much, my girlfriend and my family are going to be here so I'm pretty happy with this, though I am looking forward to becoming an outpatient eventually, hopefully it will be sometime next week.
