First chemo visit done.

thanks for the reaction    people,  much appreciated,  next visit now  on Friday,     wife,  my career being amazing with  drug diary  plan,  side effect  temp  checks morning and evening all recorded,       Vespa   AKA  Kevin

Carer,  not career, but she is that also

Sounds very positive and good that you felt it to be a positive step in the right direction - let the road ahead be smooth……

I always have a little giggle to myself when someone say that they a long day in hospital….. my main chemo lasted 120hrs so I was in hospital 6 days and 5 nights…..

Wow,     thats a marathon  Mike were you expecting it to be that long ?      one good bit of extra support from the hospital for me,  is they have given me a 6 month free parking permit,   as i will be attending 2 days per weeks for 6 months,          that saves me a lot of money on parking fees    hope you  did not have to pay for  6 days !!  

Yes it was made clear at the very start so was well prepared for the start….. all 6 cycles were the same.

We don’t have parking charges so not a problem there.

It was the same when I went down to Glasgow for my 2 Stem Cell Transplants (SCT)…… I was in the unit for 28 days/nights for the first SCT then 29 for my second….. car park was thankfully free and my wife even had a free room across for the ward when she was down with me.

More personal  points if this is Ok   i lived in Scotland for a few years,  Montrose Area, i worked for a Scottish company    near  Stonehaven,   you would have probably passed it many times    to Glasgow,   miss the " Arbroath Smokies     got a good friend  in a family Bakery up in Forres,      visited him many times     have a good day Mike,  appreciate the responses  all of them
