My blood is still shite so another weekend at home. Don't even remember when was the last time I had chemo. I started with injections to boost my immunity yesterday so I'm hoping that they will work.

I feel pretty good and even my hair is starting to grow a bit, it's been so long since my last chemo.

Anyway, it seems that tuesday I'll go to hospital to have my blood test done and will see if they can carry on or not.

Still at home, feeling pretty good. I feel like I should do something but cause I'm neutropenic and have low immunity I should stay away from infections and sick people...

Hopefully I can go tonight to a little pis* up from work. At least say hallo to everyone as I'm not gonna drink (starting chemo tomorrow if everything goes well).

Now I'm just waiting for the district nurse to come and get some blood from me :-(

Finaly I got my cable for the mobile so i've been playing around putting games on and downloading ringtones and pictures....

Tomorrow I'll have blood test again so hopefuly it'll be fine and I can go and do chemo on friday. I cooked chinese chicken noodle stir fry, turned up pretty good. Otherwise not much going on.

Spending most of the day watching the olympics. Anyway, nothing new really.

So I'm still at home. My friday blood test was still sh*t but I felt pretty good yesterday so i went to hospital anyway hoping that they'll test my blood everything is gonna be ok and I will start chemo again. Well by the time I got to hospital it was too late to have the blood results  on time so I went back home just to find out that my bloodcount is still low and I gotta wait. So I'll have another test tomorrow but I don't wanna go for chemo on thursday as I got plans for thursday night.. you see the dilema :roll:

Anyway, we'll see what happens. I'm kind of glad I din't stay in hospital as this time there was a lot of really sick people and a lot of "boaaaaaaaa" noise.

Still waiting to find out if I'm going to hospital or not. I'm all ready just in case the driver shows up at the door early like usual. Will see.

Easyjet is gonna start flying between London and Bratislava from 8th of December so we bought some tickets for x-mass. So now I have to make sure that I'm not suppose to be in hospital between x-mass and new year. Prices start from £17 one way so flying to slovakia is now gonna be much easier.

Otherwise not much new. I'm stll waiting for cable to connect my new phone to PC, as I don't have irD nor bluetooth on my laptop, before I can start playing around with it properly.

At least I can listen to a radio while I'm in hospital.

It's a nice sunday. I got my new toy phone. It's pretty cool even though not as nice as my old. So I'm taking pictures everywhere. It has 32MB of memory so you'll see a lot of new pics on the website soon as its easier to carry around than my dig. camera. It makes video clips as well and plays mp3 and a stereo radio as I already mentioned yesterday. Anyway, I'm pretty impressed.

OK, thats all.

It's saturday, i'm at home, feeling pretty good. I got my new glasses yesterday, it's nice to see clearly again. I didn't go to say hallo at work yesterday as they were moving ofices but they got a team piss up on thursday next week so I'll try to make it there as everyone will be there.

I'm getting a new phone today so I will probably spend half a day playing around with it it's Nokia 6230. I was negotiating like a chinese man on flea market. It took about 5 phonecalls first they wanted £100 for it then £49 and at the end they gave it to me for free. I don't really like the way it looks as my old 6100 looks better but it has all the fun stuff in it - radio, camera, video, mp3 player and a slot for a memory card.

We had a nice fish for dinner yesterday, yamm, today I'm cooking :£ we'll see what happens.

Well, I was supposed to finish my chemo and come home today but my blood count was not good enough to start chemo so I'm waiting till monday and maybe by then it will be better. I was all packed, driver was on his way to pick me up and then they tell me don't bother comming in.

At least I can stuff myself with food this weekend. My 2nd microbialogy results came positive as well, so I'm neutropenic and with infection. I feel ok though so maybe the infection is gone but if my temperature will go up I gotta go straight to hospital :(

I'm gonna make the effort to go and say hallo at work today. Just had my blood taken so hopefuly it will be better and I can start the chemo again soon.

Well, as usual, if there is a bed I'll go to hospital this morning to start my 5th cycle of chemo. I had pretty good day yesterday, even managed to go for coffee and cake and I sorted my glasses. At least my eyes are healthy, one is getting bit worse but not as fast as I thought so I'm sure that my eyes are gonna last at least as long as the rest of me :)

 

HMMM.

My mission this morning was to go for blood but it proved to be almost impossible. I don't have any change for parking so I would have to wait for the shops to open by then the Q in hospital would be too long for me to make it back on time for my eye test appointment. Well, that was the dilema. The District nurse almost say no to comming here to take my blood because she is too busy but at the end she felt sorry for me and she is comming. Problem solved, uuuuufff.

We went for pizza last night, I was supprised with myself because I managed to eat a whole large pizza by myself, yam, very nice. So it's now happily sitting in my stomach. I feel bit sore everywhere from the chemo but otherwise not too bad. My mouth is sore but at least I can still eat.

Got the dvd Starsky&Hutch at home so thats the programme for tonight. Otherwise I just need to go and sort out my new glasses.

I should be able to get a new phone next week, its difficult decision because new nokias are all ugly (nothing as slick as the 6100 which i'm using) Maybe the 6610 or if they give me (which they probably won't the 6230) otherwise I'll have to switch to motorola or samsung and get one of those flip phones. Ok, thats enough news for a day.

I was gonna go to work and say hallo but with only 2 days of freedom to do everything I need it seems to be too much...maybe after this chemo if I feel ok.

Cheers

Hey so I'm back again for a couplr of days :)

Had a infection in my Picc line while I was in hospital so I was getting IV antibiotics and chemo at the same time, lovely, but the antibiotics worked pretty quickly and I feel reasonably good. Except for my mouth which is getting bit sore again.

Had some not so good news, in 8 weeks when I finish my chemo and I thought that I'll have a surgery and I'll get rid of all the stuff from my lungs.... it seems like it's not that straight forward and they will let me for a while to see if it starts growing again or they'll mix up some more (different) chemo for me or they try operate anyway. They're not planning to make any decisions until 8 weeks time so till then I don't know but it seems to me that they will leave it for a while to whach if it starts growing, problem is that without it being taken out there is a very high probability that it will start progressing soon and the I will need more chemo... Anyway it's all unknown at the moment and the doctors are not gonna decide till. the end. Just gotta wait and see.

So thats my news. My leg is still getting slowely better, so thats good.

till later

I hate this blog. Everything I wrote just dissapeared. I really don't feel like writing it again. I felt pretty shit last night after all the walking around hospital. Today is bit better but I still don't feel like doing anything.

I'm suppose to go to hospital today for my last part of 4th cycle, that if there is a bed for me. Well, at least I can start counting down 9 weeks to go. Really looking forward to some hair on my head (or anywhere really)

So I'm at home today  :D for one day  :) and even that I had to go for appointment in hospital. Anyway, some good news, my leg is fine, straight etc. so I don't have to see the consultant for 3 months. By then I'll be finished with chemo.

I had my CT Scan again - SCARY  :shock: I'm hoping that its fine, they don't expect any changes since last time so lets hope so.

Otherwise, I had a lot of new blood but I don't feel very energetic, maybe it was from some lazy person  :roll:

And thats really it, I'll be off tomorrow afternoon again and back on monday night.

Hmmm.. they don't have a bed for me but I'm suppose to come in anyway...I guess I'll sleep on the floor. I'm not looking forward as it's hot today and there is no aircon in the ward. It's gonna be nice and smelly :oops:

 

I slept whole night last night, i'm so refreshed this morning, it didn't happen for a long time. It's my last day at home today. Last night we made potato salad and pork escalopes.... yammi so the today the mission is to eat enough to last for 3 weeks (or at least for a week till I come home for my 2 day break)

Well, Good night
:roll:

I got this terrible headache for past week or so :x and it doesn't wanna go away. Now I got temperature as well...and since I might still be neutropenic it's not good news. Well, I'm due to hospital in 2 days anyway so not a big deal I guess.

I had quite a nice weekend though. We had a BBQ with some friends in their garden and on sunday we went to park and just chilled in the shade and had a little picnic. It took all my energy to climb a hill to get there but it was nice. :)

...and that was my weekend.
