Cancer 163

My Hickman line is blocked. I couldn’t get blood out this morning. It would flush happily so stuff goes in, but not out. Effectively a one way valve. I am now in hospital. They too have not managed to clear it – similar yechnoques

Apparently I can still have chemo next week as stuff goes on but not out

This is assuming my bloods are ok. I have had problems with veins since I became ill and today was no exception. Most people tried, and eventually on the ninth jab some blood emerged. Results tomorrow.

Nine jabs and lots of poking and twisting to get the blood. I feel like I have had sex with a hedgehog – not that I have had sex with a hedgehog, but I imagine it feels like this.

My Hickman line is probably broken, so will need replacing. Another cut into my jugular and a line poked into my heart.

I am home now.

If you haven’t tried cancer you should, it is lots of fun.
