Yesterday was awful. My husband's breathing deteriorated rapidly and he felt awful. I had to leave him at hospital which was so hard. He has a blood clot so I am to be taught to inject him myself.
I'm finding the whole thing so tough and my own helath is suffering.
Im so sorry to here this .my husband had this a few months back its a bit scary doing the injections but you get used to it just listen to what they tell dont inject on the same spot do one side one day and the other the next the first time is the hardest becouse you think its going to hurt but it doesnt hurt as much as you think ( my husband said that ) do it quick im shore your befine take care carol x
Good news he got home today. His blood count is very low although better than it was. His chemotherapy for next week has been postponed and he needs to stay away from people.
I'm actually a nurse but injecting him is very different.
Good to hear your husband is home.Hopefully when the time is right his treatment will commence.Don't hesitate to call the nurse led Helpline if you need to talk to someone Freephone 0800 358 7200.
