My sixth and last chemo...

I am due for my sixth and last chemo on Tues the 24th April it cant come a day too soon However what I won't miss is the steroids which I have to take on the day before my treatment and for two days after that The steroids wake me up in the middle of the night with such energy that I could do all my housework and the flats above and below me its sooooo annoying to be that awake in the middle of the night!!! The steroids also put my sleep out for the rest of the week an dinto the nesxt week I am just getting back into a pattern when we are off again Grrrr

Tomorrow I have the district nurse who calls to take my bloods from my Hickman line to ensure that my white cell count is up enough for me to have the chemo on the Tuesday Its a palaver getting all the stuff out for them and I am anxious about infection as Hickman lines are very prone to infection I wont allow the nurses to use my towels as no matter how clean the towels are I prefer that they use wipes. I dont think that has gone down very well.....

Although I am grateful to the distict nurse service administering to me in my home, I feel resentful as I feel very much like a victim in my own home. The nurse's dont mean anything by it but they get things for me ithat I could easily get for myself. I am not infirm.....
