The taxi picked me up at 11:25 AM and at Sahlgrenska just before 2 PM. My scheduled time for radiation is 2:35 PM. I feel so weak, with nausea and diarrea. Monday radiation was ok, no delays and such. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription of fragmin. Finally at the hotel around 4 PM. So hungry, I haven’t had time to eat lunch but I have a stomach pain, feeling sick and I couldn’t eat. I took my medicine and waited until 8:00 PM then I could eat my lunch/dinner.
Tuesday radiation went so smooth, everything was in time. I had a late radiation today 15:20 hrs.
Wednesday was really tuff, 1:30 minutes beyond schedule so I went to leave a blood test first that took abnormally very quick. The nurses use to have very difficulty to get blood from me. I guess it depends also to the nurse’s ability to do so. It didn’t even take a minute. I was amazed! Now still waiting for my turn for the radiation which is 1:30 minutes late. Finally I was done at 2:00 pm when the taxi pick me up and drove me to the hotel. I ate my late lunch.
Thursday radiation was allright with just some minutes beyond scheduled time. After radiation I went directly to the x-ray ward where I was scheduled to have a magnet x-ray on my abdomen at 10:00 AM. I came in at 9:30, and waited until 10:30 when I was finally called. I changed into a hospital shirt and was given a sulution to be injected vaginally. I don’t feel so good because I haven’t eaten a real breakfast. I must be fasting 4 hours before the x-ray. Finally an arrogant man fetched me to the x-ray room, he put his hand on my shoulder as if we know each other, while walking through the corridors, very strange character.

I was told to lie on the x-ray table, given a call button in case something happen during the operation and he put a device covering my upper body, put on my hearing peotection and drove me into the valve. I was inside about 30 minutes and I think I fell asleep for a while of all the noice. I was finished around 11:30 and my taxi was picking me up T 12:00. I ate the sandwich that I brought with me and bought juice and I felt satisfied. I ate lunch at the hotel before 1:00 PM.
While taking my afternoon rest I just felt blood running out from me. Not now again! Oh my God! too much blood that I got on my pants, my socks and everywhere on the floor that I have to wipe off although I was totally worn out. I was feeling very weak so I went to bed to rest and fall asleep.
Tomorrow will be another hectic day.
