I hope you get well soon! best wishes, Daan
Thinking of ya, Pete ā¦
You can do it Pete.
Sorry guys I just wanted to get over my issues, it appears my temperature spikes have been caused by an infection due to the flu. They did worry us a little on Monday when there was a concern that it maybe my cancer bouncing back however my scan yesterday has ruled that out.
Iāve had no spikes for almost 36 hours and been taken off iv/antibiotics yesterday evening and I feel much better. Think theyāll keep me under observation for another 2 days so hopefully Iāll be home by the weekend. As always thank you for your support.
Hopefully, you can get back home safely and be ready for the treatment next month
Good to have some positive news.
Well thatās sounding more positive.
Thatās the major draw back of Chemo, your immune system checks out for a long time after.
Good to hear that youāre at least feeling better.
Hereās hoping that your temperature stays down now and you can get home for the weekendš¤š¼
Lots of positive thoughts being sent your way from us Petešš¼
Thank you
Mrs Pete found this at the local museum a few weeks ago weāre currently living upstairs while our place is being built. Oddly enough the building is the same age as me (give or take a couple of months)
Hope your morning finds you feeling in better spirits.
Gazza I think Iām being sent home today. Just waiting on a chest specialist to confirm the flu has cleared and if heās happy Iām out of here.
Really good news Pete.
Nice one, I bet youāre looking forward to getting home.
I am going to miss them taking blood in the morning and a jab in the stomach in the evening.
Used to love the heparin jab in the evening when I was recovering from the colostomy, funny thing when I had the colostomy reversed in a private hospital, they were quite happy to inject me in the buttocks
Best Forest Gump accent
Apparently the nightly jab is to prevent blood clots, however taking blood every morning I think they just enjoy it. This morning effort she forgot to fill 2 vials and had to do it again
Bugger it Iām here one more night
The nurse wanted more blood
No cause the chest specialist is too busy to get in the lift and come up to the 5th floor. But youāre right as a result Iāll get another jab in the guts tonight and they take blood in the morning as well. All of that and the pleasure of 4 hours sleep.
