Freedom from the condom!

Eeeek as i type this the rest of the year are in their first end of term exam- scary scary times! For once am quite glad to be in bed rather than back at med school ;) SO hope it's going ok and there aren't any upside-down-back-to-front, let alone left field, questions... GOOD LUCK for tomorrow guys!

Have finally been disconnected from my first lot of chemo wooooo! That's a picture of the wee condom containing device i was rigged up to, and didn't look at all strange carrying round a garden centre chosing fish...

Minor setbacks with this included a clamp closing and the infusion stopping (doh) and then going back to the hosp yesterday to find it had closed cos of a powercut! Slightly worrying, apparently the generators hadn't kicked in and all the patients had been transferred somewhere else... Not ideal :s Initially looked like was going to have to go somewhere else to have it out, but thankfully upsteped the director of nursing who was doing a training day. She seemed very excited to do something hands on again (and reassure us she was fully trained!) and kindly freed me :D Such a nice feeling!

Back in tomorrow for more of the monoclonal antibody (don't expect anyone to follow this chemo malarky regime-am thoroughly confused myself!), which last time just made my fingers a little tingley so am optimistic about not feeling too rough :) Mum has also bought me pretty much every magazine tesco stocked yesterday, so intend of spending the 2 hours planning a new wardrobe...
