Apparently my chemo is working, thats the good news, bad news is it has nuked my immune system to below the minimum Neutrophil count allowed. So no chemo for me today, instead I get growth factor injections for the next two days to boost my system up to the minimum. The other fact is that I am now really immune supressed so lots of hand washing and surface cleaning is needed to prevent infection.
Mum is here now and safely set up in a local B&B, as Holly is sick again (so needs to stay away from me) mum is helping out as Hollys nurse, we went out for dinner last night and had a good chat so I had a good sleep last night and felt very positive today going into the ward. In between tests mum and I went to the Maggies Center which is a really nice cancer support unit we have here in Edinburgh. That turned out really well as mum got some information which may be of use to one of her friends in Ireland about cancer support over there.
So back into normal routine for me, Lee has offered to do the injections for me as she is used to doing cows, however she seemed very pleased with the idea of sticking needles in me !
Let you know more on Friday
