In and out of hospital

I’m now a grandmother! Mum and baby are doing fine. As well as baby visits I’ve spent time in and out of hospital and overall been quite poorly. First it was suspected internal bleeding as I had black stools. However, after and endoscopy and X-rays, they can’t find a source of bleeding so they changed some of my meds and sent me home. Then, after a blood transfusion, I had an episode of severe lower back pain which landed me in A&E. They admitted me but are still unsure if it was a reaction to the transfusion or an infection. Now I’m back at home. I’ve got a CT scan on Monday and consultant appointment on Thursday which will give us an update on whether this chemo has done anything. I do feel as though I have deteriorated though. I’m struggling to get about as much and off my food. We’ll see what they say on Thursday.
