Forth Day

The forth day, had my last set of chemo for the week, next time I’m in will be on Tuesday afternoon for one Shot then home again until the week after.  Feeling better then yesterday, I only had one bag of chemo last night, not sure if it’s because I only had the one bag or if it’s because I’m going home.  Only things I can say at the moment is that constipation is still with me, have taken more pills for it yesterday night and a another pill of something else last night, I have passed a few stools but nothing satisfactory, so hopefully today I can get prescribed something a bit stronger to get things moving. The hiccups come and go but not as bad as yesterday.....it’s only 8am. Was discharged at 12pm, after an ultrasound scan in my other working testicle which is normal. I had this done as a precaution to make sure it hadn’t spread there as I have been getting a strange burning sensation from that area. Since I’ve got home I’ve had a mc’ds and a bath, straight into bed for a couple of hours sleep. The bath worked wonders and the sleep in a nice quiet house was good! Beats Sleeping on a full lit noisy ward. Feeling ok at the mo, just lazy and tired so food and bed is the order of the rest of the day.

9 Weeks - The end of treatment....i hope!

It's been 9 weeks and my final chemo treatment was nearly a week ago.  Its nice to feel a bit of normality again, in terms of how you feel in yourself.  I'm up and about and taking every day as it comes, i feel i am able to do more and get about to do things like going out to eat or just taking a walk somewhere (which i highly recommend). I no longer need to take any drugs of any sort, and my body will start to fix itself slowly and be how i was before i started the chemo without the enlarged lymph node.  I had a CT scan a week ago so i'm now waiting for an appointment for the results...fingers crossed the treatment has worked.  Side effect at the moment are ringing in the ears, general lethargicness at times and sores on my hands which are like blisters. I will give an update once i have my results back.

One year on

Been just over a year now since my treatment finished and I have to say I don’t miss it at all! But, life gets back to normal, everything is as it was before the chemo and I’ve had my first cat scan since before the chemo started, and I’m happy to say that the lymph nodes that was enlarged is smaller then it was so chemo did work. I hope anyone going through this is staying strong, and anyone who wants any help or advice please do not hesitate to contact me. Stay safe

Back at home after the 2nd hospital treatments

NEARLY 2/3rds of the way through!!! Now back at home after three days in hospital. I left the hospital around 12pm, straight to Mac Donald’s, then home for a bath and straight into bed. It’s such a moral booster to be home! I will need to start a course of steroids in three days which will boost my white blood cells as there very low, it’s a needle into the belly flab area, five days worth. In general I’m feeling again lazy, and just generally groggy but the sickness is slowly going away but! The ringing of the ears is back and the greasy skin. The weekend is here so I will rest this whole weekend and most probably eat like a pig (appetite from the steroids).
