Chemo – round 3

I had my third chemo infusion today!

Adam came with me this morning,to be my pack horse and hand holder. He said he needed a hot pack to recover from my hard squeeze.

I took the beautiful quilt made by the Peter Mac volunteers today, given to me before my first appointments with the oncologists. There are a group of older people who make blankets for patients – so very kind and generous.

The wonderful nurse I had was a Savage Garden fan – she saw I was listening to them as she put the cannula in. I joked my proof of identity questions should be Savage Garden related. Like, how many ARIAs did the band win in 1997?

It went quickly and I feel good – I hope this feeling continues. Had lunch and then a disco nap, and now I’m off to see some live music in a safe way.

I hope if you’ve had treatment (of any kind), or if your disability or chronic illness or mental illness flared up this week, you find some relief and happiness soon.

I am not working so much now, due to cancer. If you want to, you can buy me a drink on PayPal. Totally no pressure though, cost of living is high. Thank you.

She is sitting on a recliner hospital chair, receiving an IV infusion. She’s covered in a colourful patchwork blanket. A pillowcase covers her arm snd hand where the cannula is in. She’s smiling. Medical stuff is around her. 2. A close up of Carly’s face, and the purple beanie with the brooch on it. 3.
