Hospital runaround.

Went to the Weston Park cancer hospital this morning where they prodded and poked my PICC line and still could not get blood. So they injected me with the enzyme and sent me away for an hour for it to work. Then I trotted over to the Hallamshire for my consult with the surgeon. There were traces of cancer in just one of the nodes and the others were clear. The doctor was very encouraging and positive and it obviously could have been muuuuch worse- so we are feeling fairly buoyant about that. Then back to Weston Park for the PICC line- woohoo, they cleared the problem and took an armful of blood!! They also diagnosed some phlebitis, a bit of inflammation in the arm which I am controlling with Nurofen and heat packs and hoping to resolve without antibiotics. The achy shoulder is much better though which is great.
