Let’s try again. Stage 2 day -5

Well, here I am. Back again to restart the treatment.

I spent the last few days packing my bags, holding my babies and getting as ready as I could.

I’ve waited until the treatment is well underway before I dared post this blog – it does seem like it is really happening this time – at last! I seem to be a very famous patient; they all seem to know my history and keep checking I haven’t got any flu symptoms or infections – or Coronavirus!

The Hickman line was put in again yesterday – it did not go smoothly at all this time and the cardiovascular consultant had to reinsert it twice. It was very uncomfortable. I really hope I don’t have to have that done again.

I have tried to attach a link to YouTube of someone who filmed his whole Hickman line procedure. I have not yet dared to watch this but thought some of you may be interested to see what happens. I believe my mum and dad have watched it already and said it doesn’t look that bad. Ok for them to say when it’s not them having it done……

Treatment regime started as soon as I got back to the ward. No delays this time so now I guess we have to wait and see what happens over the next few days. Let the fun begin…….
