Knew I had to go to hospital at 11am but just couldn't get going after rubbish nights sleep. Jon took Jack to school.
Jon my wonderful hubby showered me as I just had no energy.
Kevin's Mum and Dad have loaned me a wheelchair which proved invaluable today, just sat there and got pushed (Little Britain - hee hee)
My consultant wasn't there (skiing - again). Saw another man who was very thorough and said he'd put in for a scan of neck/abdomen and pelvis. The pain in my side may not be the liver but poss ribs so they will look at that. He asked if I had lost appetite, well believe it or not I have!
He said was I taking the painkillers I told him only at night as they zonk me out but now Jack will be at breakfast club I can take them all day (well not ALL day).
Got home and only managed 3 cheese and biscuits for lunch. Bed all afternoon pain killers and slept. Now feel 99.9% better than this morning.
So upshot is:
CT scan hopefully within 2 weeks.
Ask Ellan (MacNurse) about pain relief (Oramorph type of liquid morphine - eek).
Next apt 10th Feb to get scan results.
District Nurse to see me 25th Jan - from GP surgery.
Next 'normal' treatment day (Herceptin/Zometa) on 20th Jan
Heart scan 3rd Feb
All go at RBH for me.
Love Clare xx
'Me'
- Clare
- I had just turned 40 yrs old, had my first (and only) much longed for baby, have a wonderful husband and life was good....until on 31st May 2006, when Jack was just 8 weeks old I was given the devastating news that I had metastatic breast cancer....but life goes on and mine will go on for as long as I can fight this cruel disease
Me and my gorgeous boy
Lovely Clare
ReplyDeleteGood to read you are being looked after well - just as it should be.
Guess you just need to listen to your body, and not punish yourself if you do need to spend day in bed - easier said than done I know, as I know you will want to be up and about with Jack and Jon.
As for medication, take what you need to make you comfortable - they may make you sleepier to start with but your body will adjust.
Good luck with scan
love to you all
