Hi again Megan,
Thanks for sharing your story. You must really have gone through the mill when Phil was diagnosed. So sad to have to give up your dream, but it doesn’t take long for us all to understand where our priorities really lie, does it?
Chemo didn’t start today. M had a high tenperature last night so they have given him IV antibiotics. His temperature was ok this afternoon but his consultant was taking the opportunity to consult with a colleague in another hospital before he finalises the chemo plans.
Fortunately I can work from home quite a bit at the moment and I’ve got lots of holiday to use up from last year, so i can be very flexible for now. My boss understands the situation and knows that work can’t be my priority right now.
We met one of the haematology clinical nurse specialists today and she said that once the chemo drugs are sorted out, she will make sure I have lots of information.
My main problem at the moment is that I’m finding it difficult to sleep, and that’s really unusual for me. However, these are unusual times, and this will pass.
Tomorrow is another day and there will always be some good things in it!
Sarah
