My sister is experiencing pins and needles pain every night…it keeps her awake. She has mentioned it to her consultant but no solution or meds has been offered

Went to see my sister today she did look very weak and thin, Ive not seen her for a week as was away. She said she felt better than last week. She did eat abit of lunch and 2 bits of banana. When I left the Dr came round and said they were pleased with her progress and pleased with no more infections, bizarrley Dr said her bloods think she said nutrofills were showing 0.3 and they need them at 0.5 and if all goes well she could go home Tues or Wedn. My concern is she looks so weak and tired Im shocked they are thinking of sending her home!

Thank you again for your replies and advice. She is 59 and has always been fit and well she has always been very positive about not letting this get her dow n albeit it several bouts of crying but always picked herself back up.

I think I will go and stay for a few days each week when she’s home

Thank you for your reply. Yes she has gone right downhill they called it her ‘spike’, and tonight theyve given her some complan to try to boost her as she just cant manage much food.

Can I ask, when she goes home how much care will she need? I assume she wont be able to do much, or be out of bed for a whike. Her husband will be there but I think I should go and help look after her

<p style=”text-align: left;”>So pleased she can have someone with her. So when they say up to 3 weeks in hospital is it because they want to keep you away from infection</p>

Ah great photo easy to identify in that illuminous vest 😁. So with regards to her hospital stay will she be allowed visitors? Or is it a no go zone due to infection? Can she have anyone with her whilst having the treatment? She’s so scared bless her.

At the moment she hardly sleeps at night and more recently her appetite has just gone…she feels sick all the time even after an anti-sickness tablet again not sure if it’s all the worry

Thanks for your replies Robert and David it really does help me to get a perspective on it all. It’s the City at Nottm where she is also going Robert! Under  professor Russell..shd hasnt had her meeting yet though with him.

Spoke to my hairdresser this week who cuts and styles wigs for a couple of ladies who have lost their hair through chemo so may approach that with her.

Fantastic news about your Son hope he enjoys every minute

Mick thanks for replying and for sharing. This is what she will have. She is scared…the thought of being admitted and the machine etc and of course the hair loss.
