R-IVAC-M in Toghill : Day 1, retuximab

I was due to have a meeting at 10 am Tuesday to see if I was well enough to come in at some point for the next round of chemo (R-IVAC) but the phone rang at 9 to tell me to come in now anyway to stay the week. I packed everything quickly and moved into room 5 at Toghill. I discussed if I could be free at the weekend to see my girls and they said if I started the chemo immediately then 5 days later would mean I could be free on Sunday after the chemo but before the inevitable drop in neutrophils. I pushed to get started quickly and I’ve had the retuximab (the R of R-IVAC) but didn’t manage any more of it. I hope to get the rest of it done quickly but as always all I can do really is cross my fingers. At least I'm in the right place for it.
