Chemo so now I know.

Monday morning wake around 8.30 do a little work in the office.

The not knowing what was next was the killer for me , haven’t a clue didn’t study for this but like everything in life you prepare for the worst and expect nothing.

The morning started when the nurses called me at home to check all was well and that I was coming in and felt well.

The reason is that the chemo being prepared for me today was very expensive so if it was prepared and not used it would be thrown away.

Reality sets in know this is getting serious.

Arrived at the hospital an hour early to see if we could get in earlier.

Sure enough we did went to my room took my coat off and sat in not just any chair but a bloody comfortable chair. This was to be my home for the next few hours.

So what is chemo well i had no clue, this is what i thought you spent hours in radio therapy being bombarded with rays at specific parts, was I wrong so here’s my day.

So first up anti sickness tables and steroids.

Next fit the cannula in my hand so to connect the drip,then a complete saline flush.

I was to have two types of drugs each bag had to be covered by a black cover as it doesn’t like the sun.

The first drug arrived about 12 noon it was like a creamy solution being pumped through my veins this took 15 minutes not problem as my weesa arrived from London for moral support.

Then the flushing again with saline solution this took about 15 minuets. In between this I had a cup of tea gallons of water they like you to drink water. ordered dinner cauliflower cheese really.

Then embarked on the final drug again about 16 minuets.

So picture this I’m sat in a cosy chair kim and weesa opposite me nurses running round after me what could be better.

Joking aside day one done back Wednesday week for another coarse.

NHS ladies thankyou for being kind and compassionate ❤️

Tonight I have taken steroids and blood thing pills, tonight is to come no sickness at the moment but have the flying nurses tel number if I need help.
