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

  • Hi Donna,

    Am so pleased you're home now and feeling better.

    I follow your posts quite closely as your diagnosis shares similarities wirh mine - lung wirh bone mets 

    I've never had an mri so have no idea if it's in my brain! I hope not!

    I've had a ct scan of chest and abdomen and am due another ct scan soon, but they dont seem interested in checking brain (probably don't think I have oneWink)
