You are more than entitled to melt down, have a big fat one and let it all out lovie. This is a horrid thing so you’re allowed to feel horrid.Â
Tiredness always makes us totes emosh to. Ironically, you might sleep better during today once doctor has been. Libby and your mum will be with you later, that will cheer you. Get them to bring your favourite snacks etc as the hotel food won’t be cutting it!!!!
perhaps we can hatch a plan to help JammyR later this morning.
jammy hope you manage to get out tomorrow. This whole bloody journey is too emotional, You get some big hugs from Libby this afternoon and you may even get out sooner!
JammyR - Glad you are doing ok and it is pants that you are in hospital but you will be home before you know it, where dh and Libby will take over the nursing duties until you get your strength back up which as you're a very strong lovely lady won't be long! This journey of bc is rubbish with different twists and turns to test us all with a rollercoaster of emotions where we are ok one minute and down the next and hospitals have a habit of coaxing the low emotions out! Rest up lovely you will be home before you know it and back on track, we are all with you, lots if virtual hugs Deb xxxx
JammyR Thank goodness you’ve got a bed on the onco ward now, at least they will all know what they are doing, or you would hope so anyway.
Like a lot of the other ladies on here I was given the injections to do at home after my first cycle so with what’s happened to you I don’t understand why he’s dithering.
I really hope you are able to get home tomorrow or at least for the weekend.
BC is one long bloody roller coaster ride and adding a hospital stay just adds to the horrible journey.
Seeing Libby later will put a smile on your face of that I’m sure.
Love and hugs winging their way over to you right now. Xxxxxxx
Seen onco this morning. He said they usually only give injections for the T part of EC-T as usually peoples white blood cell count doesnt drop as badly. God know why mine did! But they will now give me it for all my future cycles. He said too late for this cycle as body should be starting to produce them by itself now.
So I need bloods today and can switch to oral antibiotics tmrw IF they look reasonable. They ate also chasing blood cultures I had done Tues night to make sure nothing in bloodstream that needs treating...if there was that would mean more iv antibiotics. So MIGHT be released tomorrow but I daren't get hopes up!
He also said next chemo may be delayed a week if bloods not recovering quick enough...I am past worrying so will see what happens.
Hi Joanne I am on 7 injections after each cycle including FEC . It's strange how we are all given different pathways. But this didn't stop my bloods dropping to 0.2 on my first FEC. Let's see what tomorrow's blood test brings!Â
JammyR I have absolutely EVERYTHING crossed for your release on Friday lol. Let’s hope they can switch you to the oral antibiotics and then you should be out!!
It’s strange how oncos have different views, I’m not having T but as I said I was on the injections straight away. You would think something like that was sort of standard wouldn’t you.
I really feel for you because any possible delay is a pain, however it does give you an extra week of hopefully feeling better.
I am feeling much better now thank you, time to prepare me for the next one on Thursday. I had to go to my local hospital today just for my PICC line flush. I know the trainees have to learn but what is it with me and bloods and flushes. Bless her, she couldn’t draw blood before the flush, after 5 attempts of sucking air out of me and me now quaking in my boots, her shaking, the senior had to step in. A quick pump and out came the blood, she asked if the trainee wanted to do the rest and she declined bless her. Xxxxxxx
Hope all of you lovely ladies are good today and as free of any side effects as is possible xx
Jacks77, I’m your chemo twin this time round!! Day 11 today and cannot believe how awful and hard cycle 3 has been. I’m still not brilliant but loads better than yesterday.Â
Like you, I questioned why I’m putting my self through this. I really was ready to quit chemo, even though I completely understand rationale for having it.Â
Hope you’re still feeling much better today to xxxx
