The centre is modern, efficient and friendly – with cheese and crackers on tap!Also had two units of blood which seems to be kicking in – red cells were mid 80's so much needed. I can't encourage everyone enough to donate blood and am very grateful to whoever did!
My veins are apparently a bit oompa so a bit tricky to get cannula in but we did – mostly it's down to hydration so I pour as much in as I can.
Pain seems more managed – using 2 Targin day and night – apparently not a huge dose (5/2.5 each) but should control it.
Still have sleep issues – but hope it's the Dexmethsone increase to 4mg – (8mg for 3 days initially with chemo as they also prescribe it as a nausea control).
Looking forward to getting back up and around and to see the team at AKA Brand Design again!
A big thank you too to Ralf Harding who has kindly helped pull together some sense of our financial situation – we're seeing an independent fee based adviser next week so will share Ralf's master plan. It's this stuff that keeps me focused on stuff other than the treatments and keep me a little sane. That and welcome chats with my daughter Lizzie - though those can get a bit surreal!
I have shared CT scan report and updated Dr Nessulhut but would have to revisit plan once we have had the chemo here.
Peter Trayhurn's blog is in depth – he's over in Germany now and also caught up with Claire in Duderstadt.
My own Duderstadt DC treatments are linked here.
