Need to keep dosing EVERY day!!! - When I had orthopaedic surgery and therefore given Oromorph and DF118s, on return home, I had the man from Sainsburys bring me Nectarines every week (alright this was during the summer and early Autumn) but if you can get a supply of Plums until Nectarines are back in season again, then do so. I promise, it will help, but you must keep up with this treatment daily!!!
Youād think I could have posted pictures from an iPhone X but itās still difficult- itās easy to post them but I donāt use WhatsApp or snapchat or Twitter etc. Else it would be easy, but Iāll save them for when I get home and Iāll use my macBook.
I believe you - Iām also on every laxative they have short of suppositories. Managed a small movement this morning so hopefully things will stay on the move.
Theyāve just told me that my radiotherapy starts at around 2pm. I had thought they were going to wait for the results of my biopsy next Friday/Saturday first.
All a bit worrying, but they want to shrink the tumour in my spinal column fast - it could still be a lymphoma, I hope of the same type I had last time.
There are many types Dreamy.
Good luck, we are all supporting you.
Still waiting at 2:45.
Oh, poor you Dreamy.
I hope not too much longer.
Radiotherapy is now mapped for the first of 5 daily sessions- they used tattoos (which Iām used to, but tiny little ones to get to the exact spaces. This day will be the worst stress wise then I can only see what they say at the end of the weekend - coming - I could rapidly go downhill, more slowly, or still live a number of years.
Try to look at this positively Dreamy.
Have you been in touch with your Mother?
Hell, no, sheās 92 coming up; Iām not putting her through this. And she knows none of it so far.
It was strange enough seeing my sister last night.
From where Iām sitting I can see the busy bus route taking folk home; itās a pretty nice part of the city.
Iām awaiting a porter to return me to my ward.
Sorry I forgot about her age.
I am pleased about that.
We will chat later.
Now itās found that someone in my bay may or not have had the flu, so 3 of us are quarantined on this bay and have to take buccal swabs; I cant visit the tv room and tomorrow must wear a mask to my radiotherapy sessions next 4 days.
The nurses said this happens all the time - especially in the winter but itās extra concern.
Goodness Dreamy, you are having a rough time.
Shall I post a funny gif, to try and cheer you up?
No, It wouldnāt work. Not tonight, Itās been a very bad day and I have to Wear a face mask from tomorrow onwards along with my cancer issues (which now seem very insurmountable).
Itās good that they are taking precautions though. Shows itās a good hospital.
They are not insurmountable. There are lots of new approaches to treatment. Just another chapter in the story of your life. Letās see what happens next.
They seem insurmountable and I am embracing the change. Still going out on my own terms. Would you want to depart stuck in a hospital room with multiple cancers?
Hey youāre not departing anywhere just yet!
