As I was signing off, I suddenly thought back to the gruelling pre-transplant chemo treatment. It was awful. But as they say… you remember the good things, not the bad – and here we are four years later and I have almost forgotten the nastiness of it all. So I thought I would post a pic of one of my lists of chemo treatment. (This was at Southampton, I had already had two intense courses at St.Richards).
You can see, I ticked it off every day to help me count down each day and keep focussed on a positive outcome.
It was a bit daunting, but it can be done! If you suddenly find yourself faced with such an intimidating list – you know where to find me, so get in touch – even if you just want a bit of reassurance. Patient or partner/family member etc. Having gone through it, I am convinced it’s harder for your loved ones to watch the experience…
