Just realised that I havent posted for a few days. Its been a bit of a torrid week. I had the rituximab as an outpatient last week, so I was hoping for a significant reduction in my white cell count when I went to clinic on Monday.<\/p>\n
Alas, that was not the case, in fact they had risen and the conclusion is that the combination isn’t working.
\nSo the plan is to have a short course of more conventional chemo as an inpatient over three days. I was hoping to be admitted yesterday, but there were no beds available, so I am hoping that I will be admitted today.<\/p>\n
I was supposed to be going away this week-end for an annual reunion with my university flat mates and friends, but that is on hold at the moment. However I did have a superb evening at a Soul\/Motown music festival last Friday – I found the energy for about an hour on the dance floor! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
But I havent been sleeping well, with sundry aches and pains, so I hope that treatment will start soon.<\/p>\n
Onwards and Upwards? I hope so! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
