We had the chat today. Left home at 11.30 am did a little bit of shopping, then arrived at KCC at 1pm . Left KCC at 3.50pm.
Another blood test and weigh in first.
We were advised of what chemo is going to be used, how it will be adminstered and just how long it will take .
My Monday appointment has been changed now to Wednesday. They are having new equipment installed and we have learnt they normally make the chemo on site but the equipment will not be ready in time for me on monday. They are getting the chemo from London. They said it doesnt have a shelf life and it doesnt travel by road. So I presume it will be flown in by helicopter.
It seems they only have 3 patients that are having the same chemo type as I am which came as a shock.
I was given a bag full of drugs including steroids so in a few weeks Ill be built up as big as arny swartsenager. Watch it Ray.
I had an oportunity to see inside the ward where it all happens. It seems OK. But I have to be there sharp at 9am on Wednesday and expect to be away home around 6 pm. So it’s going to be a long day, but its only every 21 days for 6 sessions. Of course there will be in between visits for medication and checks, but its a small price to pay.
Ray bought me an MP3/MP4 player so that I can listen to music during the long sessions. So at the moment I have a new laptop and a new mp4 player. He is spoiling me.
In the post today we had a letter adviceing us that I am now classed as 100% disabled, what a surprise that was, me the keeps fit and is a busy bee, I might well be later but its a shock to see it in writing at this stage.
Tomorrow I have to go and get Zapped with radiation so another long day again.
Well thats all for now.
