Hi guys

I've completed a round of RICE and Matrix I'm still in hospital as I picked up a fever on day I was due to be discharged. The car was packed and about to leave room when I got up I basically collapsed fortunately not on the floor. They kept me in on antibiotics but not spiked a temperature since that day. I feel.like I've been through a lot in few short weeks I was wondered how other have coped mentally getting through?

My family are great I have lot of support and either.my Hubbie or mum stay with me in hospital. I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall and see myself feeling I'm missing out whilst here and others lives go on. The treatment been tough probably bit more than expected. Can't believe how much I have to drink to flush out kidneys.

The staff at Marsden are the most caring I've met and I'm so grateful for this.

I will have a pet scan soon

Thanks

Hi Lyn

How you doing? I'm about to start pre chemo to CART T next week with car t infusion on 9th December hopefully out just before the hoildays but not sure. Did you have a bone marrow biopsy prior to starting cart t? They have asked me to do one.

Take care

Hi Alice,

was doing fine till pneumonia reared it’s ugly head , so a bit down at the moment. Had to cancel my last PET Scan , have to wait till they can fit me in for another one to see if things are still all good on the CAR-T front . No I didn’t have a bone marrow biopsy before CAR-T but all hospitals are different.

Good things are progressing apace for you .
