Hi Jenny

Hi Keith

Good first week, keep your eye out for constipation that was a devil for me if I got lax (no pun intended) and never took the mess to keep me regular.

And don't forget the water, I would say a little more than 3 Ltr a day as I suffered urinery infections and was told to drink more.

Keep well Keith I did 5 cycles then SCT.…[Read more]

Hi Rob

Do not worry. About the tube it is the least of your worries,one would have been fitted later for SCT it actually makes your life a lot easier,on normal treatment they go in to veins every time often they collapse,some like my husband it takes a number of tries,so a centreline sounds much better.

If you are looking at all…[Read more]
