aaaah
I think the reason while the chemo I had has to finish by 6 cycles is because ones body can't take any more of that shite. My mouth is sore, my stomach is in pain, my veins on my arms are so sore I can't even straighten my arm.....I could go on.
What a shitty day today :oops:

What next?
It's funny time now. I still feel shit from the chemo. I'm pretty happy and excited that I have finished and I don't know whats next so its difficult to look forward to things when I don't know how long its gonna last.

Finished..?
Yesterday I finished my last cycle of chemo (for now)
It was long 8 months of absolute shite and I hope that I don't need any more chome soon. Bit of time to recover grow some hair and have some fun would be really appreciated. My mouth is sore and my eyes are red but right now I couldn't care less :D
I gotta go and see my consultant in 2 weeks time to find out what he recons the chemo did nad din't fix and then I'll hopefully see whats next. Bit of good luck wouldn't hurt :)
It was pretty exciting in the hospital again. Some guy was overdosed on some pills so he was freaking out. His bed was right in front of mine so I din't get much sleep, at the end whole bunch of security guard stormed in to hold him down while the nurse gave him injection to put him to sleep. It didn't work for too long thou so I slept for an hour. When he woke up he wanted phone so he can call Shakespeare :roll:

The end?
Well, well, well, the day has arrived. I'm going for my last chemo today. (Thats until they decide that I need more...)
It's been a long 8 months and I really hope that this is it. I don't know how much more of that shite could my body possibly take. My veins are so sore and hard that it will be interesting today - to find one that they can use. I got holes everywhere, look like a proper junkie.
So, everything going well I should be back at home on Tuesday :oops:

one to go
I'm at home for a day and I ot only one more bag of chemo to go before end of my 6cycles. Will see what happens next. My veins are hard and sore - it's time to have a little break from all the shite.
Otherwise, same old same old. My mouth is sore... I got 4 units of blood while I was getting chemo, so at least I'm full of energy now and I don't get breathless after 2 steps. I wonder how long its gonna work before its back to the lazy/tired Rob that can't move.

...bit better
Today I'm feeling bit better then yesterday. My mouth is almost healed. They don't have a free bed in hospital for me so I'm at home till somebody leaves. I hope that it won't happen till monday as I wouldn't mind a weekend at home.
Weather is absolutely terrible. Otherwise not much is going on. I added some pictures from our last weeks sightseeing trips today http://www.robdian.co.uk" title="http://www.robdian.co.uk" target="_blank"http://www.robdian.co.uk
Well, till next time :D

Back home
So I ended up in Accidents&Emergencies on friday. Got infection and as I was neutropenic it sent my temperature up to the sky. I was on IV antibiotics till today and I'm back home. I had quite a nice room so it was ok. It was on the 8th floor so I had a view of entire London from the new Wembley Arch all the way to Canary Wharf.
I'm glad to be back home though. Food was terrible and...
My white blood count is up but my red one is low cause just walking from the bus stop to the house made me so tired that I'm still breathing heavy.
I couldn't move out of my room so no my legs are weak and shaky again. Anyway, I[m supposed to go back to the other hospital on thursday to start my 2nd last chemo. I have few day to enjoy :)
Cheers

Feeling ok
I'm 2 days after my chemo and still feeling pretty good. I wonder how many days before my blood turns shit and my mouth starts falling appart :(
I got a good appetite and my stomach is suprisingly strong so its all good at the moment. I had to shave my head yesterday as some of my hair started growing back but not everywhere so now its all gone again.
Nothing new really :?

2 more to go
I'm at home again. Finished my 1st part of 6th cycle of chemo. 2 more bags of chemo and I'm finished with my first treatment (hope the last too).
It was nice and quick this last chemo, instead of getting it through a drip over few hours they put it in with few injection over about 30 minutes.
Now I got 2 weeks at home to recover and then 2 weeks of chemo and after that CT scan to see whats going on in my lungs and then it's decision time about surgery/more chemo/break...
Anyway, have a nice Sunday

October!!
Another one of those days when I'm getting ready after my breakfest and packing my bag to go to hospital, not sure if I'm going but I'll see...
I'm supposed to go anyway cause I have another of my heart scans to find out if they can keep killing me :-)
I got a cold or something, my nose it's blocked and it pisses me of. Well, if everything goes according to plan then I should be finished with some chemo tomorrow and after that it's only twice more before I'll find out if it did the job or nor.
My hair (or should I call it feather) is growing slowly. It looks like a something that should grow on a little chicken and not on my head but better than nothing '8)'
Have a nice weekend everyone.
