Good evening everyone 

i don’t post very often but tonight I’m feeling a bit low. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been struggling with a stiff neck and the headache, I’ve been going over the paper work bumf they give you about your treatment meds and discovered that my issues could be side affects of my immunotherapy meds, Atezolizumba and Bevacizumab and these side affects are uncommon and can be serious. So following my specialist nurse instructions I rang the emergency numbers yesterday only to be told they could bring me in because they had no beds. Firstly I didn’t want to come into hospital taking up a bed all I wanted was for a doctor check me over and see if I have a problem or if they could prescribe something to help with the stiff neck and headache. 

I went for my eye test this morning all was fine on my way home the hospital emergency unit I spoke to yesterday rang me, they asked if I still have an issue, I said yes, so she informed me to pack a bag and make my way in, I tried to explain I just wanted someone to check me but was cut short and told just to make my way in as the symptom was describing was serious and I need to be seen right away. I’m confused, it didn’t seem the urgent yesterday when they had no beds but today I’m serious. Anyway Bern here since 11.30 today just had bloods taken and obs done and nothing else’s neck is still stiff and I have a headache.

so now I board and fed up, I’m stuck in a hospital ward all on my own with no other patients and no one to talk to, I’d swear but there’s no one here to hear me, and I don’t swear, that’s almost funny. Anyone got any cheer me up chat about their busy fascinating day please

Hugs

  • Good afternoon everyone.

    thank you for your support over the last few days, whilst I’ve been I. The hospital, I still in hospital and this morning I was taken for a CT scan to see if the source of my still neck and headache can be identified, at the present time I’m awaiting a doctors visit with the results, hopefully that will be later today and all being well I then perhaps go home.

    Have a good afternoon all

  • Hope the results mean you can go home Ms wombat. Your own bed is the answer to a lot of troubles.

  • I hope that they come back quickly and you can return home soon.

    Best wishes

  • Waiting seems to be built-in to our treatments and the worst bit, but they say that no news is good news, I hope they are right, thinking of you, All the best Ulls xx

  • Good morning all
    well it’s another day in hospital, the doc came last night  and said An mri ha s been ordered for today and a steroid level test is being done, interesting none of the nurses know how to do the test so we are waiting for the doc to come and say what needs to happen. So not much change so far this morning 

    hope you all have a good day and thank you for your continued support, it really does make a difference when your stuck in hospital and not getting any answers.

    Hugs Donna

  • I'm beginning to think you like it there, Lol

  • Hi Donna, just catching up with your post. Sorry you’re having neck pain & headaches. Hopefully the answer will be clear today after your results. Fingers crossed for you & hoping you can get home today! xx
