Staying occupied
The past 4 days have been pretty good. We have been out for a couple of family dinners with friends which has been enjoyable. I have been doing a little work and other things to stay a little active.
I feel a bit pre flu like with a headache and sore throat today and I hope this will pass overnight.
This week Petra and I will be attending a Lymphoma Society Patient and Carer workshop in the city. It’s objective is to have speakers cover the latest thinking in treatment etc. this should be interesting. On Friday I will have the PET test, the following Monday will be the CT scan and the Tuesday will see me back in the big blue chair for my first dose of Rituximab under the 2 year maintenance protocol.
I handle the Rituximab pretty well. It only brings on flu like symptoms for a day or so. This will happen once every 2 months for the next 2 years.
I don’t fancy being that room again but there is nothing I can do about it.
Tuesday afternoon will also be the debrief and assessment meeting with the oncology team. I am looking forward to getting the results.
Big week ahead. Really tired today.
