Good luck with the chemo today from me too. 4 pm appointments are always rubbish - so hoping you can find things to distract yourself today, or of course just doze and sleeeeeeeep xxx
Not sure about the Good! Under 3hrs sleep! NOT so Good. But might just lie here and see if I can drop off again!
Wishing EVERYONE the best day they can have xxxx
Good luck and yeah a 4pm appointment for chemo sounds like a long day there. Of course if L.P is very energetic i am sure he will keep you and others delightfully entertained. So waiting till 4pm will not seem so bad.

Hi Sal! Thanks for the pm - I just answered it and it seems to have disappeared!
Thanks for thinking about me - I'm at present a guest of Hotel NHS due to neutropenic sepsis - wasn't feeling well Monday and Tuesday so was told to go to A&E ( despite no temp) and neutrophils were at 0.1! Now in isolation until they get back to 1.0 at least! On IV antibiotics and bone marrow stimulating injections like you get for FEC. Today bloods were 0.3 so creeping up slowly but might be in for a few more days!
Hair falling out in handfuls so preparing for going commando pretty soon! And I only had one dose of the two I was meant to have this cycle. Amazing what 1.2 mg of poison can do!!!
Not allowed out of my room but have private side ward with bathroom, TV, fridge and extra fans so can't complain. Mind you, I waited for 22 hours in A&E side room before they could find me a room -they was eye opening!!! Treatment was excellent though - bloods done, antibiotics in and drip up within 30 minutes of arriving! Lovely young Portuguese man looking after me all night and couldn't do enough! Tell you what - the NHS would go tits-up ( or on my case tit-up) without workers from inside and outside the EU ( and that is the last vaguely political thing you'll see me post!)
Anyway - WiFi signal not always stable here so haven't been able to read back - hugs to everyone who needs them and celebratory fireworks for those who need those! Both will have to be imagined as I can't post pictures!
