7th of Feb 2nd post

So as I said earlier I'm so shocked that I am only the 11th human to ever have this drug, yes it's scary but it's exciting too. Who knows what the side effects could be not just now but in the future but then who mows what anything could truly do to us in the future. This drug could, and hopefully will make future cancer patients radiation treatment work better. 

Today has been another long day all the same infusions have taken place, same amounts of bloods have been taken same obs, and wee samples (still not pregnant hehe). 

I had the same pains in my arm as yesterday the only thing different wasn't temp never went up. I have more bruises today from were Alison (bless her) struggled to insert cannulas into me, I've tormented her most of the day about how cruel she has been to me, but the truth is she has been amazing, looking after me like I was the queen. 

Sarah (research nurse) came to see the colour of my medicine as she had not been around yesterday, she said O my goodness it's a cool purple colour and it has glitter in it, this made my day. All my family and friends know how much I love glitter so it's true now I have glitter truly running through my viens hehe. 

So let's remember I've been given this drug to feed any side affects back good or bad, it's all part of the research. So far I've had swelling in vein it was infused 

into but has now gone down, and have now got a rash on my arm from elbow to hand, isn't it weird but interesting. 

Back to Weston Park tomorrow just for bloods. Also got Laura coming to check my PEG in my tummy all go. 

Its hard to believe that we complain about this service and that our government think it would be ok to make it a private service and make us the general public pay. 

Perhaps if everyone that reads my blog takes one thing from it, i wish it could be this think twice before complaining about our NHS and the staff that work with in it. If you have to wait a long time to go into your appointment just remember you don't know what that doctor, nurse, consultant is telling that patient. Don't get angry or cross these staff work so hard xxx

Night Night 

Love
