Contracted a virus Friday 29th November, sore throat etc.
Saturday was full on snot for miles and woke up bathed in sweat.
Sunday felt a bit better after some meds and fluids.
Talked to Oncology nurse about this and she was pretty worried and asked me to see my GP straight away after talking about what happened.
She advised me if anything like this happens again, I was to get to ED straight away as this could have been life-threatening.
Could of caught pneumonia which could of been too hard for me to fight since my immune system is very low due to the chemo treatment.
GP has put me on a weeks antibiotics and had me do a blood test which showed up as a lung infection.
So have spent this week extracting the crud from the bottom of my left lung.
From now on, I have to keep away from people with colds etc, for my own good until I can re-build my immune system.
PRESENT DAILY PILL COUNT:
4 x heart pills
3 x antibiotic pills
8 x painkiller pills
7 x chemo pills
4 x anti diahorrea pills
That's 26 pills per day, mind you this is only temporary as I should be off the antibiotics next week and a week off chemo pills on Wednesday.
Apparently I have more rattle than a rattlesnake.
Top pic was taken today weighing in at 58kg.
