Went to Springfield yesterday morning for the vampire nurses to take more bloods and do my Zometa drip. As usual, pleased to report no side-effects. Also had lunch of egg mayo and salad sandwiches and a pot of tea:
Got home a bit late to take a Furosemide. Evening temperatures down to almost freezing, so emailed Ken at Birchanger and told him it was too cold for me to go out (especially with my hands in such a bad way as they are at the moment). He replied "Wise decision".
It's U3A boules at Ongar later this morning but the forecast is bad (rain and cold) so the chances are that I'll stay at home instead. At least that will give plenty of time for a breakfast Furosemide to work.
I've just started Cycle 20 of the current regime, with the first Lenalidomide for a week. So now the anxious wait for the next set of blood results begins....
Like reading your blog, my husband 73 has myeloma smouldering for 2 years and now 1 year of Myeloma, he is SCT ineligible in NZ. In remission, and lenalidomide maintenance. Our hospital's sandwiches almost as good as your egg mayonnaise sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Good to know somebody reads all this, specially from the other side of the world. My best wishes to you and to your husband (same age as me).
ReplyDeletethank you, also contending with rules and regs relating to covid, not the world class response as our PM Ardern would have people believe. The Haemotogolgist not only requires you to be double vaxed but also a negative test, so obviously not that confident in the vaccine. Best wishes to you as the Christmas season arrives.
