Awwww Jenn sorry you're feeling sick already but I'm .... (happy / pleased etc don't seem the right kind of words to use but) ...... glad (? just as bad ) that you've got your chemo sorted out.

Hope you get the district nurses to come - not sure if you've had them before but I had one visit me last year (had foot surgery & needed dressings changes / stitches taken out etc) and she was absolutely wonderful :T

Hope you feel a bit better soon xx

Thanks Taxi.

One of my team came down here today to help me write my handover pack. Soooooo grateful to her for doing that.

Also, phoned the hosp, and....I'm getting chemo sometime next week :j:j:j

Now everyone pay attention to the wee jumping jacks and remind me of them when I start moaning about wanting to die after chemo next week...:D

Such a woose

Good news you know your starting next week ...

The wanting to die I feel right now ...

Hope your as okay as can be x

Well no phone call from Drs or Nurses today about the line. No idea how I have a shower with this in. Why do they make what should be simple things so complicated?

Did they not provide you with the waterproof like plaster/dressing to cover? I use these or could you stick to a bath until you here from them? x

I will find the name of the dressing x

Great news on the chemo next week(as far as chemo can be good news..yuck)
Sorry to hear that you've not heard from district nurses yet.Was reading up about Hickman lines last night and you need a special cover/dressing to shower/bathe.
My district nurse who used to come after my op used to come in the evening so there maybe time yet.If your DRs is open late it maybe worth a call to ask if they can check up for you

got some news myself today..sort of

Hi.

They gave me a bag of stuff for the practice nurse who said she could look after the line. Hereafter known as eejit. In the bag are IV3000 dressings.

So what do I cover up? Do I curl up the line and put it all under the IV3000?

Do I need one on the dressing at my throat as well?

They told me not to have a bath.

WTFI - can I be nosy and ask if you're going through as well at the moment?

Thanks

I just cover the entry site. I admit I stuck to baths (and avoided near there until I had spoke to the district nurse)

Not really the same I have a type of leukemia been going on a while because I was pregnant treatment had to hold off until she arrived x
