The other thread was full! I am waiting for the oncology assessment unit to decide what to do with me tonight. I keep spiking temps but it goes after paracetamol so they can’t decide if it’s a reaction to immunotherapy or not..

Hoping this works!

@Enigma54 Oh you poor thing, I'm sorry to hear you feel so rubbish, sickness is one of the worst things. How are you feeling now? What a shame about your oldest school friend, and how sad that she couldn't be there for you when you must have shared the majority of your life as friends. I totally get you not having the emotional capacity to patch things up, that was how my long friendship ended too, I just didn't have the energy but I know how much it really hurts.

I'll be in the Chemo Arms later too so I'll find you at the back, I'll have the same as last night but a double G&T with my crisps as I brace myself for the onc on Wednesday. Is it tomorrow you see your oncologist? x
