I now have a very physical reminder that I have got through the intensive chemo. Yesterday I had my Hickman line out, a procedure done by the same specialist nurse who put it in by chance. It was a 15 minute procedure under local anaesthetic. The site is a little sore but seems to be healing well. On the same day I had another lumbar puncture. Amazingly the doctor was early, so was I, and the whole thing was completed within 10 minutes of my stated appointment time. How's that for service?! Then I needed an intravenous drip of bone-strengthening solution (apparently to protect the ball of the hip joint from the effects of all the chemo) and for the first time in over 10 months I had to have a cannula. I felt a bit like a pincushion by the time I got home.
No more hospital appointments till 14 June. Weird.
