I am praying that you are not too bad today Dreamy. X
Yes, itās worse today. In the past Iāve always had no issue with the chemo drugs but Iām shivery, nearly have a temperature - 37.9 - and my appetite is poor. I still managed to eat the trifle for once, but didnāt fancy the roast turkey.
Iāve told the hospital staff how lousy Iām feeling and they are giving me extra pain pills and anti-sickness drugs. Iām pretty sure itās the chemo and not some bug Iāve picked up. I almost never get headaches and they trouble me a lot.
I hope I get better and am able to receive my stem cells towards the end of next week.
Luckily Iāve got my iPad in with me; I donāt know what I would do without it.
Oh dear Dreamy.
I am sorry to read that.
At least the staff are keeping an eye on you.
It is most likely the chemo.
I am sure it does that.
Try and stay positive.
We are all here for you.
At least you ate something.x
Yes, Iāve also got ensure pluses - Iāve always liked them. To those not in the know, they are fortified milk drinks which are very calorie dense and come in many fruit flavours.
Things went a bit pear shaped earlier as I developed pink rashes all over my body and my temperature is 39.1. Iāve had painkillers, steroids and all sorts since then.
I believe itās a reaction to one of the chemo drugs ~ I canāt think of anything else. But theyāve got me on close obs for tonight. Iām worried that this will delay my stem cell transplant next week.
Sorry to hear youāve had a reaction to the drugs Ffosse, hopefully theyāll get it under control for you soon.
Donāt worry too much about next week, just take one day at a time as worrying wonāt help you.
Thinking of youā¦
I agree with Mags, Dreamy, one thing at s time. I am sorry you are feeling so poorly.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as always.
Keep us posted please.x
Hi Ffosse.
Itās another day, another setback for you isnāt it mate. I really do feel for you pal. All we on here can do is to wish you the utmost best in getting through all of this with as little pain as possible. I canāt imagine what this must be like.
Try to eat your meals if you can mate. Plenty of fluids too. The main thing is mate that we are all here for you. As you know thereās always somebody on here who will be around and Iāve said before - if you fancy a chat in the middle of the night, well, Iām there bud.
You need any music or videos posting, just ask. Old concerts of singer-songwriters etc. I can do that for you.
keep as strong as you can Ffosse, mentally and physically and donāt give up mate.
Wishing you all the best to get through this 
And from me Ffosse ā¦keep posting and I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks everyone Unfortunately I still feel Ill the morning after. Couldnt face my breakfast- just the small bottle of milk I had.
I saw my Consultant and he told me what I already knew. Itās either an infection ( unlikely) a virus (more likely) and most likeliest of all, a reaction to one of the chemo drugs.
He basically told me to expect to be unwell until Iāve received my stem cell transplant and am on the way home.
Oh Dreamy that has worried me.
You are going home, I hope you will be OK.
Oh dear, I will now worry.
Keep us posted please. X
I didnāt read Ffosseās post like that SP, I read it that he would be going home after his stem cell transplant 
You are quite right Mags, my mistake as usual.
Yea, donāt worry so much, Sweetie, Iām just having a rough time in hospital. Iāll be home in a couple of weeks.
Here you go, Ffosse. Three classic songwriters in concert for you.
Cat Stevens, Al Stewart and Harry Chapin.
Enjoy mate 
Thanks, Floydy- Iāve seen Al Stewart before and he is quality.
Good morning Ffosse, I hope youāll begin to feel better soon. Are you sleeping alright?
Yes I know, I just got muddled, as I worry.
I know you will get through this.
Glad to see a post from you. X
Any more artists you want to see mate? 
How are things today?
