Tuesday 8/10, Wednesday 8/10 - both work days; nothing much else to say.
The title refers to Thursday 1 April - my second visit to the Christie.
It was almost as if the Dritsekk knew it had been rumbled. All week I'd been experiencing lots of pain and more bleeding - as if it were saying to me "I know you know about me now, so cop a load of THIS!"
It's an evil thing and I want it GONE.
The kidney function test was fine; I also saw the consultant and signed the various consent forms. The only slight frustration was they couldn't complete the CT treatment planning scan as the machine was playing up (surely the Dritsekk can't affect machinery?!) so I have to go back next Wednesday. But they reassured me it hasn't delayed my treatment starting - we're aiming for 12 April.
It can't come soon enough.
I also have to have a blood transfusion pretty urgently so am back at the Christie on Monday (yes, Easter Monday!) for that. My fiance A will be coming with me. In a way I'm sorry he's having to do a hospital run - mum and I were trying to spare him that as we both think he's been through enough of those with losing his first wife to cancer. But maybe if he sees how good the Christie is, it'll reassure him like it did us? I hope so.
Not really sure how to grade yesterday - pain wasn't great and it was a long day BUT we're steps closer to the 12 April. Think I'll call it 8/10.
