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

Hi Donna, At least if they are doing everything including MRI while you are in there, you won't have to go back and forward to appointments once you get home.
You must be a good patient or they'd through you out!! Lol! How is the food? Or do your visitors bring you something nice to eat in?
Love Annette x
Good morning all
Today is a good day, I’m still in hospital but we are moving in the right direction. I had an MRI yesterday and oh my I felt really out of sorts last night I just could get myself together, I’ve never had an mri before and I can honestly say it’s not something I would want to do very often, but I got through it and this morning they have done steroids test on me, just waiting for results from everything and then maybe I can go home.
A big thank you to all of you for the support you have given it’s so good to know you are all out there.
have a great day all of you and I will let you know if they let me go home later, for now I feel so much happier
Hugs
Donna
That all sounds like pretty good news to me. It can't be too long now before you are tucked up in your own bed.
Hi Donna, hopefully you'll get some answers today and get back home where you belong.
Big hugs your way, Barb xx
