Hi everyone

From last Sunday I began to feel unwell and I became increasingly worse with shivers until unbeknown to me, she had contacted the emergency number of the cancer unit of MacMillan NI. An emergency ambulance was on its way and I was fast tracked. I was packed in ice which was not pleasant at all, to try to lower my body temperature which was 39.7, yet by today is 38. I've been diagnosed with neutropenic sepsis..I could have died

Your OH did a good job getting you the treatment you needed.My heart literally missed a beat when you said you could have died. These are complications we read about but hopefully avoid ourselves…thinking if you & sending love and hugs to you and your family. xx

I do hope you have turned a corner, that must have been a terrible experience. Quite a shock for your wife too. Best to both of you.

Glad you are feeling a bit better now. I had suspected sepsis (turned out to be food poisoning) and had a temp of 41 and felt like I was freezing it’s very very scary. Glad they got you sorted and hope you make a full recovery soon
