We're leaving early for the hospital to beat motorway & Oxford traffic (there are major roadworks near the hospital) plus getting to the hospital car parks early because they fill up so quickly. Journey time isn't bad actually and probably comparable going to Wexham all things considered!
Monday was a "short" day as it was just taking blood for the blood counts, a reaction test to the new medication being introduced (Asparaginase) and, as there was no hypersensitivity detected, the Asparaginase shots themselves which is a delightfully stinging injection in each buttock...
Moving swiftly on to Tuesday - quiet day at home. Actually felt pretty good and broke out of the confines of the bedroom to be able to have lunch and tea downstairs - it's not all peace and quiet at home though, major building is underway for the new Holyport Manor School, below a picture from our bedroom window...
Today though was a longer as in preparation for the IV treatment on Friday, 3 units of haemoglobin plus the Caspofungin & Asparaginase. All went well though and hopefully Friday will be relatively quick - it needs to be as they start packing up that day ready for the weekend move to the new specialist cancer unit at the Churchill Hospital, more on that when I go for spikes in the bottom on Monday...
