Just learned to use the calendar feature--yay!
But it's telling me I've not heard anything from the hospital this week ):
Total number of lumps now 3, the ltest one not too bad, but the other 2 are growing and hurting.
Went to my GP today for sick note for work, told her I was very anxious and frightened etc. as I'm such a wuss about needles even for anaesthetic.
She just smiled and said I'd feel better when it was over--so no anti-anxiety meds for me -- tho she did give me shed-loads of pain-killers and a repeat of anti-depressants.
My MacMillan nurse offered me the Fentanyl patch on Wednesday, but having heard the horror stories, decided to stick with the Solpadol and Ibuprofen.
I also have something called Lansoprazole to protect my stomach from the ibuprofen. When I looked it up on the net and read the leaflet, there's all sorts of stuff about it being also used to treat pancreatic tumours--as I have gastric/chest pain at the moment and a metastasis on adrenal gland, I guess it might do me some good!
Me, I'll try anything once!
