Day 4

Half Groundhog Day today, as only 2L EP IV timetabled, with expected discharge from cycle 1 at 6pm this evening.

Wandered downstairs to see specialist Nurse for review – seems that last CT was clear, but HCG levels indicative of a lot of activity. On the plus side, chemo now loads the probability that no further surgery will be required later – good job too, as ‘Plan B’ (on back of pamphlet below) left lying around reception failed to provide any contact details (in this world, or the next).

So, how’s it been? Well, Ward 61 staff are in a word, brilliant. The nurses do 12+ hour shifts and for sure, go way beyond the call of duty. These ladies also score big on the humour element essential to an oncology ward; even this blog’s questionable wit got the thumbs up. Er, right then, let’s see this month’s Charles’ Angel…..

Now, who would have honestly guessed what Jennifer Lawrence does in her spare time? 

Next month we hope to get Destiny’s Child (well, Beyonce has already given it the nod).

Memo to God: information/contact details please!

Memo to paparazzi: Outside The Ivy again? – you guys are napping: the real stars work on haematology & oncology wards.
