A trip to X-RAY today! And here’s a video of my return journey 🎄🤶 A good day for neutrophils too: That’s really good, but yesterday was quite bad for me because my temperature “spiked”, and I couldn’t do much at all. I’m writing this today Sunday DAY19, and so far I’m better than yesterday 😊🎉

WELL! LOOK AT THIS … My Neutrophils have DOUBLED!👏👏👏😊🤣🎉😍 The Consultant has just appeared. We had a long and slightly emotional talk. When Neutrophils increase like this … everything starts improving 👏👏. I’m so happy. BUT! There’s a downside … my eyebrows have started falling out 🙁. I can cope with that .. I’ve been… Continue reading DAY 17

A nurse woke me at 2am for ‘Obs’ (BP, temperature etc), and everything was fine. After that I set off for the loo, and suddenly realised “I feel ok! I feel like a proper human being! Everything’s working. This is wonderful!! So back to bed, feeling excited. But it didn’t last, and by 4am, I… Continue reading DAY 16

Here’s an update on yesterday’s graph. It shows that my Neutrophils have increased significantly since yesterday 🎉🚀 It also shows that I’ll probably have enough Neutrophils for discharge by 6th December. But from a talk with my doctor this morning … that may not be everything 😐 The major event of this morning: I popped… Continue reading DAY 15

I made a graph today. It’s to show how my neutrophils have increased, every morning. It’s fairly early days, but here it is … Apparently, according to the doctor today, I need to get to about 40 times the 0.12 that I currently have. So I’m going to keep working at it. (The up bit… Continue reading DAY 14

Today started well, but rapidly went downhill. I was given a copy of my blood yeast results. My Neutrophils are very low, as expected. Neutrophils are a very important part of our body’s immune defence system. Yesterday my Neutrophil value was 0.02. Today it’s 0.05 So things are improving. I was pondering over this, as… Continue reading DAY 13

As I climb out of the valley, the view is starting to improve 🙂 I had a temperature spike again last night, but my Australian nurse Celeste hit it so hard and fast that this morning all is ok 👏 This magical medical mangle * is definitely working. * that’s what I called SCT in… Continue reading DAY 12

Well, here I am, starting to climb up out of the dreaded VALLEY OF DOOM, but it feels as though I’m getting caught in thorns, tangled weeds, and nettles, that are slowing me down. I spent most of yesterday on intravenous drips of various sorts until 1.30 am today. The same’s happening today. But, I… Continue reading DAY 11

And I’ve reached the end of the DOWN bit, and starting on the UP bit 🎉 I’m in the recovery phase 😊🎉 and very grateful to be there! 🥳 I need to say here, that I’m getting through this … with a little help from my friends … and here’s a big thank you to… Continue reading DAY 10

I’m ok, but I have an infection and I’ve lost my glasses so I can’t see to write 🙄. 2pm. It’s been quiet a rough day because of antibiotics and tum problems, but I feel a bit better now 🙂
