This is my last full day at home before round 2 chemo starts.
Today i had a blood test at the hospital to check that all my "levels" are satisfactory for chemo to restart. Just what these levels are.. i'm not sure, but it would probably confuse me if i found out.
Thankfully, i have managed to avoid any bugs/colds in the last 2 weeks, so if they have a bed for me on the ward, i will be attached to a drip machine by this time tomorrow.
It will be another 6 days of treatment. Serious deja vu - exactly the same as round 1.
6 days of hospital cuisine - the sound of neighbours vomiting - those synthetic SMELLS - pills, pills and more pills. On the other hand, Darren will be there and most likely Shaun too, which will be great. To think that they've been there since before my 1st round started.
New side effects? This chemo round might cost me my hair, which i'm really intrigued about.
How much will go? Will it be just my head hair and/or will i have a baby-smooth back again? mMMmm (sorry, i couldn't resist!).
Apparently if/when it goes, your head hair comes out in handfuls.
I've half a mind to ask for an NHS wig (to go with my tortoise-shell NHS glasses). Any style suggestions??

Dear Pete...
ReplyDeleteIt has been great to enjoy your family with you over the last few entries (that Louis video is priceless). We'll be thinking of you as you re-start treatment.
Re: The Wig. Interesting. I'm going to do some internet research for you.
Only 1 comment on the wig Pete - it's got to be dreads! Or do you fancy a spell as a blond?
ReplyDeleteHi Pete, loving the blog. Keeping us all amused. You are amazing all of us at work with your positive thinking.
ReplyDeleteThe hair thing is a bit of a strange one. Not that it'll look that different on your head! I just think it's an extreme way to get a back, sack and crack.
You're all very much in our thoughts and prayers. If you fancy a visitor send me a text.
