Hi All,

I have just spent 4 nights in Hospital recovering from Neutropenia and mouth ulcers. My next chemo is due on Tuesday, but physically and emotionally, Im not sure I can face it. I keep getting tearful of the thought of it. I was pumped full of antibiotics by IV and medication in Hospital and had injections in my stomach to increase my white cell count. I was well enough to come home yesterday, but I am fragile and still on antibiotic medication. Ulcers a lot better , thank goodness, but still a couple haven't fully healed. My oncologist is phoning this afternoon, I'm hoping I will have a weeks delay of my chemo just to recover from this cycle. I'm actually terrified of ending up in Hospital again on my next cycle and there was the added stress of the Corona Virus while I was there. I was tested and am Negative, so thats good news.

The nurses and doctors were very kind while I was there, and kept me in isolation so I was safe. You are very much alone though, as no visitors allowed. The team got me back to the Land of Living so I am grateful to the NHS, just dont want to burden them again. It was a difficult decision to actually call me into hospital as they wil try everything to keep you away. What challenging times!

Well, that was a good rant, see what this afternoon brings!
