Hey Jen, glad that they've had a good look at you and can help. Hoping that the oxygen therapy makes a difference and that you're feeling a bit brighter soon. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace xxJenv said:Hi primek,
Well, am actually in hospital...got up to A & E where i sat for 4 hours while they took bloods, did a chest xray and chest ct scan..they ruled out clot in lung thank god...so am on oxygen therapy, have had some steroids pushed through IV, plus some fluid removing concoction which will make me go to the loo constantly....did an ecg to check heart and proceeded to tell me i could have damage to heart...Do i want to be resusitated? Well, i hadn't looked at that yet, but i probably should do an advance care plan...not quite ready to leave this world yet. So i am stupid, should have gone up at least a week ago instead of thinking i could ride it out...still didnt take myself to A & D til saturday when i couldn't stand it any longer...obviously don't muck around thinking it will pass. xx- Oh @Jenv how awful. I hope all improved really soon and they figure out what the hell happened. At least soon you should be breathing easier. Please keep us up to date how you are. Take care. Kath x

It will be good to get back to work, but possibly not my place of employment, a long story, but lets just say I want to fast forward the year and out of there LOL.
Yes you can see it is your happy place, just beautiful!!! keep it up! xx - Wow....work on Monday, that will do you the world of good Mel. It's great that your workplace is supporting you in your employment .....I'm sure that they'll ease you into it initially. Would take a bit to get your head around things at first.
Glad that you like my paintings......it is my happy place and my escape from everything.
Cuddles, Trace xxxx - Well I think youve got a great attitude, and THAT, is half the battle, so glad to hear youre recovering and the pain is improving! Youre keeping busy, thats what I do too around the house, but back to work Monday YIKES! 12 weeks off come to an end lol.
I think your paintings are awesome, and I think its such a place that brings you an enormous amount of joy and peace!! Keep them coming! xx M - Not too shabby today thanks Mel........having little rests in between doing little jobs around the house and working on a painting of a sugar glider. Definitely repairing. My pelvic pain and neck pain is improving as well. It just takes time, and if nothing else, it teaches you patience.
Cuddles, Trace xxx - Hi jeny, I agree with comments above as I had breathing problems whilst it was being administered.
That was on weekly paclitax, the first and second was ok, not the third. So different combination of drugs was given and no issues. (still paclitax but diff combination- abraxcine)
Remember to tell them ALL your symptoms for when they ask you, don't leave anything out. Make a note ofvthem so you don't miss anything.
Goodluck. ..xxx - Oh Jenv not a pest, we've all been there!! chemo knocked me for a six literally, I was quite ill on it, 4 FEC and 8 Taxol, so make sure you communicate absolutely everything to them, so they can monitor how you are going.
@Tracey_B Ohhh how lovely!!! the hairdressers, I love that! It always picks me up too!! you sound like youre doing OK!! xx
