Preparing for treatment

Week 1 – Day 1 = Monday, 27th July 2015

It is Sunday, 26th July 2015…

Tomorrow we start the treatment plan, which goes something like this, all things being equal;

Day 1 – Hooked up to Chemo cocktail with a portable pump and sent home (if all goes to plan!)

Day 1 to 5 – Chemo cocktail fed intravenously through portable pump, along with other constituents orally and subcutaneously

Day 5 – Pump disconnected and sent home for…

Weeks 2, 3 & 4 – Downtime, monitored via hospital visits two or three times per week in the down time.

Week 5 – Start the cycle, as above, again & again…

Wash, rinse & repeat for potentially 8 cycles (that’ll be eight months worth!)

So, in preparation for the commencement of my treatment plan, I visited the barber last Thursday for a straight Nr.3 all over!

And this morning decided to adjust the facial fluff in a rebellious pre-emptive strike…

NEXT – Week 1 – Day 1
