Got a date for my new Portacath-Monday 20th october at 11 am - that's today! However , I got my new port in on Friday due to the forward thinking staff of the NHS . There were talks of a strike by radiographers , and it was set for today , so the charge nurse from interventional radiology was checking the lists and phoned to see if I would be able to come in sooner. I went for blood tests on Thursday to check my clotting screen was ok , and had the procedure done on Friday morning . The staff were incredible , as ever , so I am now in my own house waiting for the incision sites to heal up , and will start chemo next week - bring it on!!!
A bit of a sad day today , as the actress Lynda Bellingham has died following year long treatment for bowel cancer . Unfortunately ,when her disease was found , it had already spread to lungs and liver . I had a few conversations with her on Twitter , and she always seemed upbeat and positive . God bless her x
