So in  5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
Ladies i am in hospital. Temp went up so told to come to a&e....blood count is mega pants and slight area of pneumonia on chest but they think minor and could be old infection. Just bern told need iv antibiotics 4 times a day for "few days". Signal is rubbish so may be offline few days .I feel fine but my heart aches for my poor little girl who had to come to hosp with us...she is home now asleep with daddy but doesnt know will be admitted thinks i will be home in morning . So bloody fed up x
Thanks ladies.
Currently stuck on a trolley in a&e cubicle "waiting for a bed" apparently they prioritise the eldery so be amazed if move before dawn. So sharing a loo with about 30 people really not goung to help when my neutrowhatsit count is 0.05! Lots running through my head mostly swear words about chemo!!
Will get through this I'm sure. Try and sleep now which is impossible really due to noise, light, no pillow, trolley matress like a rock. I know should be thankful for NHS but its the pits right now.

This is crapetty crap!!! So very sorry that you’re poorly in hospital!! It sounds truly awful but at least they’ll be fixing you so you can be home where you belong asap.
My heart goes out to you, it really does.Â
Big gentle hugs flying up the M1 to you right now xxxx
Awwe many hugs needed and let me give you a pillow. Don't think it will help me now I definitely awake thanks to my man n a bolted front door situation!!
Try not to worry about your little one...of course she wants you home but also wants you well.
Take care
Joanne I really hope they’ve got you in a proper bed now.
Crazy situation waiting on a trolley under those circumstances, I thought whilst on chemo you would be prioritised due to the risks involved.
Libby will be fine, you will be more worried than she is, I know it’s easier said than done but please try not to worry too much.
Sending love and hugs to you xxxxxxx
