I'm going for my picc line today feeling overwhelming thought I was done with all that but no boarding that train again.

I'm having my first chemo on Friday folfori I have no idea whats inshore this time but I need to get through 6.

I've noticed people having different things with theirs like a precaution drug I haven't been offered these do I need to ask ?

And I'm concerned about stomach cramps with this chemo something I learned after I'd spoken with oncologist shoukd I ask about the injection others have mentioned.

Everything swimming around my head today its all getting very real.

    Hi Court,

    • I received a letter for an appointment at Forth Valley Hospital at the bottom of the letter it says speciality general surgery. I’m confused can you shed any light on this please. 
  • Hi I asked about it today on oncology ward and the sister said its already prescribed Thumbsup

  • Hi Court yes all OK except my Gurty ileostomy decided to leak everywhere in the car daughter helped me clean up and I just explained and they were brilliant so all was good.

  • Hi yes as court said read my profile Slight smile 

  • Hi 

    You got me there ! That is a bit strange . I would email the secretary as they might be able to check if it’s an error ! 
    They may just want to chat it through with you . But my mum only ever saw them if it was a post op check up or planned surgery . Not sure , unless they want to sort the hip area .

    Take care ,

  • Oh dear  some things are certainly very trying . We got caught out once right in front of the hospital . I think it must have been caught on CCTV too ! I was panicking like mad and trying to think at the same time . But we got it sorted . 
    So glad your daughter was able to help you and the staff  supportive .

    Sounds as though the staff are on top of the meds too !

    You are in good hands .
