Hello viewer
Today (Friday) 4pm I have to get my chemo mobile pump detached. It will be 46 hours (since my long chemo session that I had a few days ago) it has been dripping over my heart and into me organs, and now needs to be detached. It will be a 15 - 30 minute hospital visit today, like the last cycle.
If you are following my chemo babbles you will notice a pattern.
Here are my calendar dates.
Colour code is:
- Pinky purple = Hospital appointments relating to chemo treatment. And pump detachment days (Once a cycle).
- Green = Home visits by my District Nurse who takes pre-blood samples (2 days) before hospital appointments and re-dresses/flushes my PICC Line.
- Orange = Weekly visits to my Pharmacy for my 'Smoking Cessation' days.
- Blue = One off CT SCAN at another hospital to see how my chemo treatment is working on my colon/liver so far.
All the best,
Muz x

Murray - update
Hello everyone, this is Murray's brother Donald.
I know Murray was using this journal to keep you updated on his progress. It breaks my heart to have to write this but he sadly passed away last Friday evening. He had been hugely strong throughout these last three years and is now at peace.
His health deteriorated quickly over the last week and he died peacefully at the Marie Curie hospice in Fairmilehead, Edinburgh with his family around him. I know he had a lot of friends on here who gave him loads of support and for that I thank you.
I want to make sure his legacy is preserved on here and will need to work out the best way to do that.
Haemoglobin Levels
Thursday 12th July 2018
Hello there.... :wave:
I got a phone call from the Cancer Clinic yesterday morning, from one of their nurses. It seems my 'Haemoglobin' levels have not changed (after they studied my blood sample taken by my GP on Tuesday). The nurse is happy that the level has not dropped, but still wishes to get another blood sample, next Tuesday via my GP (the week before my next cycle of chemotherapy treatment). If it does drop, they may give me another blood transfusion. We shall see what happens. The earlier they know, the easier it will be for the clinic/hospital to book me bags of blood for the possible transfusion.

At 11:30am I got a taxi to the the Cancer Clinic. I met the Cancer Doctor that I had the chat with about the results of my recent CT-SCAN. I quickly mentioned my current gastric 'PLUG' problem thing which had bothered me for a while. It had fantastically disappeared/moved out the night before. So my sleep positions were back to normal and I could get more sleep with less soreness. Only pain when sleeping would be my right-hand side where my tumour is (it swells my liver up also). I avoid that side. We were both hap
Summoned
Tuesday 3rd July 2018
I gave blood at 10:20am today (same every third Tuesday, a few days before my next cycle of chemotherapy treatment on Thursday). It went ok. Because of my recent anemia I felt ancient getting a bus up the road home instead of walking.
12:00 noon I got a phone call from a nurse at the cancer ward asking how I have been coping. I explained my gut/tummy pain (opposite to liver/tumor side) which has been very uncomfortable, especially when I attempt to sleep. I also told her of my anemia creeping back like before.
She phoned back later requesting me to go into the cancer ward in a few hours for a checkup by a ward doctor.
