I had a tube inserted in the top of my arm and then approximately 300mm of it was threaded through the vein into I think was my central vein near my heart. There was a plastic valve that could be connected up to a syringe without the needle so that they could flush it with Saline solution to prevent blood clots. When I had my chemo sessions in the hospital they connected the bags of chemo to the valve and drip the solution in which took roughly an hour and a half or thereabouts.
All the very best to you Pete with your treatment. Reading your comments you appear to have turned the corner. Upwards and onwards as they say.
Yep that sounds similar to what have in mind for me, guess once it’s done they won’t keep sticking me with something sharp every day. You obviously had a good outcome?
Hi Mark, things have settled down on health front. Waiting to see what they do next. Next step is consultant will let me know if they are going ahead with the liver resection op.
All good here mate. Have a couple of new toys incoming. Picking up a Super Lumina din-xlr tomorrow and just sorting out sourcing two other replacement cables that can’t be discussed. Glad to hear things are level with you for a bit.
Continuing to keep you in my thoughts along with lots of other people here.
Had phone appointment with consultant and the lesion on my liver has reduced from 24mm to 19mm. The 2nd lesion has gone. Got another scan on thursday to look at rest of my body. They will look at lungs as there was a 7mm lesion.
Next step depending on thursday’s scan will be liver resection which will be keyhole surgery and slicing a section of the liver off! No big deal and should be out of hospital within a day or two.
See what happens after Thursday but news is positive! I am beating cancer!
My best wishes for your continued health improvement.
I have become a fan of diets that focus on gut health. I have added making my own kefir yogurt. It just needs lightly pasteurised milk and kefir grains, which are home for the kefir stuff. If you happen to be near enough to Gloucestershire I could provide some as they multiply!
I also make sourdough breads of various mixes. Fruit and veg are also important.
I would think that gut health was at a low after the chemo.
I see that Richard has organised Dan’s visit for the 11th July. As I’ve been on a factory visit in the last few years I’ll respect Naim’s wishes and not apply to come along, however if there is to be a wider get together after the visit I’d love to meet up. (I understand if Dan thinks it’d be too tiring to have the factory tour and a pub get together.)
And on the more important note I hope your treatment is going as well as your ND555.
