Evening all, hope you’re enjoying thie beautiful weather!
I’ve been on a phased return to work this past 4 weeks doing mornings 3 days per week which gave me a day to recover in between. This last week I’d agreed with HR to do every day (mornings) to test myself, but also I knew the Easter holidays were coming up so I could rest.
By Thursday I felt so exhausted I reluctantly called the doctor once I’d got to work thinking maybe I’d get some antibiotics. I have only just recovered from pneumonitis 4 weeks previous.
After describing my symptoms she told me to go straight to A&E and they admitted me after assessment, X-ray and bloods. I was not expecting that.
Then yesterday morning when the doctors did their rounds, an oncologist came to see me who’d requested the results of my CT scan I’d had on Wed evening at my usual cancer hospital as he wanted to compare it with the X-ray asked if I wanted him to give me the results or wait for my team and naturally I said yes I’d like him to.
I have gone from having metastasis head & neck to lung and chest and now it is in my liver. I was trying to be brave & hold back the tears. I know the inevitable will happen at some stage but I’m not ready for this all again. It seems like it’s battle after battle. Anyway I’m hoping to go home tomorrow as I’ve responded to the intravenous antibiotics and am feeling a lot better. Nothing like your own bed to finish off the healing process.
I’ll be back when I learn from my team with what, how & when can we deal this next shitty bump in the road!
