I started chemo on 28th December and all was going well until end January when I picked up an infection and ended up in A&E with a temperature of 38.2. It was a bit of a torrid time during February as I was quite ill and had to have 3 course of antibiotics. My symptoms had a lot in common with covid but 3 tests came back negative. Then, the icing on the cake, my PICC line blocked and it had to be removed and a new one inserted. I restarted treatment last week after a month so it is like starting all over again but, so far I am feeling well. I cannot praise highly enough the treatment I have received from Worcestershire Hospitals. I am getting my covid vaccination on Sunday and I can't wait.
