Well i have done my first week of radiotherapy, it was absolutely fine. Amazing to think that something you cannot see or feel can do so much work. I just hope it is doing what it should do to me!
Unfortunately, i have managed to get a really bad wee infection. I took a sample with me on Fri and it appears i have too much protein, & white blood cells in my urine, so after i had my r/t treatment i got sent to the clinic and was given some antibacterial tabs to take this weekend. Not sure they are helping much cos i am still feeling grotty down there. It could be something to do with the two uretetic stents i have in still from when i had kidney failure before my op to remove the mass in my pelvis which was blocking my wee. Gosh, having this rotten disease is bad enough, without getting anything else to cope with on top. I guess i will have to go back to the clinic today and say how i feel. The nurse did tell me i would probably be given some more medication once they had grown whatever bug from my sample to find out the best way to get rid of thid infection. Something has upset my kidneys i think :-(
Anyway i am still bright and breezy in my own little way, i am not sure i like this new site much yet, i had only just got used to the old one, and it seemed a lot simpler!
Ive woken up and took some nurofen which seem to help me and its 2am, cant sleep for the discomfort, so thought i would log in here and have a bit of a ramble and look around the site a bit more..............
Luv & hugs, Gillian.
