Today I took in a tin of biscuits and Christmas Cards for the nurses. They appreciated the fact that I wrote individual messages to each of them.
Cerys tried three times to put a needle in and failed; then Kate had a go. It took over half an hour and my hand is black and blue!
Minna takes a look at my rash and flaky skin and calls the doctor in. They think it is a side effect of the anti-body (Cetuximab) and they write a prescription for more anti biotic lotion plus anti histamine tablets. Minna tells me that my reaction to the drug is a really good sign. It means that more likely than not it is working!
They are planning to schedule the scan for early January (when the treatment has completed full cycle) This means that they will more than likely operate in early February. The next bout of Chemo may well begin in March. I can’t help needing to know what will happen. Control freaks are like that! Clearly the dates are an estimation and subject to some change; we will see. Minna is referring me to the Macmillan cancer nurses for extra support through all this treatment.
