Day 60

So, a smooth transaction yesterday with the Porker, but Tor's not altogether happy. The drive back (in my car) could be illustrated thus…..

Anyway, it's pre-assessment today, and a report will be filed later………

So Axel had the pleasure today, and he seemed happy with what's been going on so far. Obviously the tinnitus is a problem, so the cisplatin's being dropped from next week's cycle (and being replaced with carboplatin). This is a bonus in more ways than one, because it's a smaller dose than the cisplat, and there's no mannitol or saline to have either - this means the treatment time will be under half (about 4hrs) as opposed to the 10hrs it's taken previously. I could even be done as a day case (on 3 consecutive days) but guess what? - day cases are fully booked, so they are going to have to admit me to Ward 61 as an in-patient (even though I can bunk off each night). Brings to mind an interesting factoid that Liv came out with the other day - who are the largest 2 employers in the world? Well, it won't surprise you that the Red Army is the biggest……. with the NHS not far behind.

So, final word on cars. Let's just let them say it themselves……….
