The last three days the doctors have been performing a barrage of tests to get to the bottom of this trouble I am having with my breathing. I had a blood transfusion yesterday as my red blood count was too low - and today they have increased my steroids (just our luck!) to see if that will alleviate my symptoms.
The fantastic news is that I am allowed to leave the hospital to go home after my IV antibiotics at noon, and I don't have to come back until 8pm tonight - when I will be readmitted. Hopefully all going well, they will do the same tomorrow too! I'm am so excited, as I haven't seen Millie since Wednesday - so we are going to have a good afternoon.
I have made contact with Fran (our INCREDIBLE) Australian Oncologist, and she has a few magic tricks up her sleeve, that we will know more about next Friday....so we will know our next battle plan then.
Yesterday I had visitors from Marc (obviously), Penny and my local GP - Susie. Can you believe that she came in after she had finished work to see me? And she was here for over an hour - seriously we have some absolutely magnificent people in our lives!
Okay, got to go and get ready for my day trip - very exciting!
