Yes, I remember. I hope it is tomorrow.
Iām about ready to discharge myself. Didnāt sleep last night as I was moved to a 4 bay ward which was busy all night.
You need to stay and have your scan.
I know you must be frustrated and exhausted, but that MRI will hopefully provide some answers.
Reading books is such a good way to pass the time and might even make you sleepy enough to get some reast. 
Good luck today.
Well, I saw the consultant who said I didnāt need a scan - Iām getting another one in May towards the end of my chemo.
He prescribed me amytryptiline for the neck pain and is pretty sure there is no new growth, rather he suggested that it was all part of feeling rough after chemo.
But what a couple of days - the first night was fine when I had my own room. Last night I had to put up with a TV blaring away, and the chap opposite me kept checking and rechecking his belongings - it was impossible to get any sleep. I donāt think I could have taken any more nights on that ward.
So, Iām happily at home.
Be careful with that Amatryptiline matey - nasty stuff!!! - One of the side effects is dizziness and vomiting, another one is bad nightmares. Doctors prescribed these to me some years ago - having taken three tablets, I handed the rest back and told 'em where they could stuff 'em!!!
Itās prescribed off-label for neuritis - Iām not on a very big dose anyway.
Dreamy sorry I have had a busy day.
I see you are back home now.
I hope you have a good nights sleep.
I got a phone call asking me to come in for an MRI next Monday afternoon; I am now thoroughly sick of the sight of the hospital, the buildings, corridors etc.
Yes, I can understand that Dreamy.
Will the MRI help?
Whatever you decide, I will support you.
In get the MRI and see the Consultant on Thursday. Still got a couple of weeks before my next chemo.
OK, Keep us informed, please.
I woke up today feeling really rough; as though Iād been to every nightclub in town then, thrown out, beaten up by the Police with metal sticks.
This is the residue of the chemotherapy toxins. I noticed whilst shaving that my hair is starting to fall out. I normally shave my head, anyway, so this doesnāt particularly bother me. Iām just glad that the chemo is every 3 weeks and not 2.
I have my MRI appointment finally on Monday. I understand that this is because they couldnāt get one organised during the 2 days I was recently in hospital. A friend is kindly giving me a lift there and back. Then on Thursday I see the Consultant again, presumably to go over the MRI and review my treatment. I just have to hold on to the thought that although my cancer canāt be cured, it can be treated and take it from there.
Oh, Dreamy, I didnāt see you here yesterday and I was worried about you.
I am glad you are taking a positive attitude, even though you must feel like ā¦
I spent half of today thinking it was Sunday up 'til about an hour ago.
My hubby thought yesterday was Saturday.
Is that little cat still below you Dreamy?
No, that cat disappeared.
I donāt know whatās wrong with me, Iām just so tired all the time. Last night I slept from 9 'til 7 this morning then, still knackered, I went back to bed and slept from 11 'til 3. Also, Iām off my food a bit. I drink plenty of milk and eat bite-size shredded wheat but in general Iām not hungry.
I had a craving for a vanilla coke this afternoon (I almost never drink fizzy drinks) and bought one from the shop below me. Iāve never had a coke that tasted that good.
You will get odd cravings, my Mum certainly did, itās the chemo. I meant to say, get some Acidophilus to replace the healthy bacteria in your gut.
I hope you have a better nigh tonight.
Iām back in ward 2 awaiting their taking of blood - Iāve definitely picked up an infection somehow. Sleeping 17 hours yesterday is not normal, and Iām constantly tired.
If you get an infection when you are having Chemo they need to keep an eye on you because your immune system wont be working as well as it should.
Just get the rest and tell somebody if your symptoms get any worse.
