thereyougotheni'm feeling incredibly ambivalent about this herceptin at home thing. one of the nurses at the western told me that there were people who didn't want to have it at home, and preferred the hospital.
ho, not me I said, who wants to come here every 3 weeks for another 15 doses?
well, now i think i understand, it's not about fear or anything, it's more about keeping parts of my life separate. oymygod i'm bringing the cancer home. well, not quite so melodramatically, but you get the picture.
we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
just off to check and see if I can get the telly in the playroom (the one we set up for barbara to never watch, and not tell us when it didn't work) to work so I can put the boys i front of it tomorrow afternoon. at least while the needle goes in.
I'm guessing the healthcare at home nurses don't have the same "only two sticks and you're out" rule that they have at the western. there's only one nurse coming (her name is Margaret), so either we'll be very lucky, or she'll have to stick me more than twice. urgh. must remember to drink lots tomorrow. and clean the downstairs bathroom tomorrow morning. it's not really dirty, it's just that it looks it with two small boys using it. but if I have to drink gallons to help the needle go in, i'll be having to make use of the facilities.
Bill, is, I believe, really rather ambivalent about the Chile thing.
