On Monday 1st September , I  had an appointment to get a portacath inserted.The procedure was done in the radiology department of Gartnavel hospital.The staff were incredible-a professor , registrar , nurses , medical students , and radiographers - all there for little old me.Our NHS is just wonderful - hope it can stay that way !
In the afternoon I went to see my oncologist and was prescribed my treatment , including my new wonder drug , for the Wednesday.
Went to Beatson on Wednesday and was hooked up to chemo , which lasted about six hours in total .

My new line

ready for take off

Just chilling!

No problems during the infusion . Paul had downloaded some comedies for me to watch - Max and Paddy , and Phoenix Nights - absolutely hilarious ! Peter Kay is a very funny man.
Went home with my chemo pump in place and had it removed on Friday. One of the side effects of this chemo is the problems with nerve damage to hands and feet , made worse by coldness.Thankfully , the sun has been shining constantly since I got my chemo , although I am sure that will not last !
Went to see Paul and Claire's new house on Saturday-they have moved to a place called Woodilee Village , which is in the grounds of an old hospital - beautiful area , and beautiful home !

Decided to get my hair cut as it was getting unruly , don't know if I will lose it again with this chemo , but at least I know what that is like .

After

All my life I had curly hair , and all my life I wanted straight hair-be careful what you wish for !
