No don't worry it's not the cancer but a side effect of the cancer :-(
The chemotherapy really mucked about with my system and has caused me to need a relatively minor operation of a feminine nature lol. It shouldn't be a big deal, and was all booked for tomorrow as a day surgery case. Wonderful you would think.... but no that wouldn't be the normal Jen way of doing things now would it!
I had my pre-op appointment today, and what should have taken 1 hour, according to the letter, in fact took nearly 5!
In the day surgery unit apparently they can't deal with ports (in fact it looked as if the nurse that was dealing with me had never even seen one!) Then she noticed that I was very anaemic and wondered if in fact I'll need a transfusion before I have any operation, or in fact if I'll just need one anyway. Then finally noticed about the MS and that the fact I don't have much of a gag reflex will need to be discussed with the anaesthetist, oh joy.... and then the icing on the cake; I'll still have to be at the Hospital for 8am tomorrow to find out, are they having a laugh!?! that's the middle of the night!
Oh well my Dad's coming over anyway to look after me and Sam for a couple of days so regardless it hasn't been a complete waste of time, and maybe I'd feel happier not being rushed in day surgery anyway..... what was that I said about tapestries?!
