Happy New Year, I hope 2025 is better than you all think it might be x 

Our Christmas was lovely, we tried our best to forget what was happening ( easier said than done tho eh???) 

So just a little update on my husband. 
yesterday we went to the hospital for a pre assessment appointment, they took bloods, checked height and weight and we were given all the information on having a Picc Line put in (Monday 6th that is happening) 

Mark was given some bright pink shower gel, to shower in once a day, for five days and some cream he has to put just up his nose,three times a day- this will stop MSRA

Wednesday day 8th is the first day of chemo, which they have said we will be there for at least 4.5 hrs. He will have two lots of chemo while he is there and then they will connect another type of chemo, which will slowly release over 46 hrs, then a nurse will come to the house and take it out and flush the pic line. 
Has anyone else had to have that at home? 

He will have Chemo every two weeks but will have to go back once a week for Bloods and obs checked. 

When we left the hospital, I was driving and Mark asked if we could just drive, he didn’t want to go home, so I found a Starbucks and we sat and had coffee, when he said to me.. 

“Chez, I’m dying” (which made me die inside) and I said maybe but they are trying to keep you alive, so whatever they tell you to do, what to take. You listen and do it all x 

we will get through this … Fingers crossed 

Thanks for reading x 

love C Heart️
