First Wave Of Treatment Warriors

********************************************************************

Have you all noticed that as the first wave of treatment enders is coming in since blogging and the forum started they are painting a different picture of end of term tx than what we previously may have thought.
And it is becoming obvious that most treatment centres consider you to be on your own once your last riba is down the hatch.
I am so grateful mine is not included in that list and that my nurse is still on my case.

Saw the surgeon today and had a check over for my groin pain which was previously diagnosed as a failed hernia repair.
He reckons it could be a growth or swelling caused by the IFN or a trapped nerve. He is checking me in for a day case on Wednesday to give me a shot of steroids to see if that will cure it.
If not he will have to stick a camera in and have a look around.
At least I can look forward to a pain free Christmas.
The steroids will give some temporary relief and I will be able to ease of the power meds. So some fast track work there all right.
He said: “The treatment you have been on is really weird stuff and could have exacerbated all this.”

Tell us all something new.
