Now comes the worst part of my treatment because my immune system is extremely compromised. Most people have terrible symptoms which don't get better for a couple of weeks....but I can console myself with the knowledge that this is the final treatment for my Hodgkins Lymphoma (apart from the medication they'll give me. So no new procedures for a while but I'm likely to pick up more infections.
Edit: I forgot - I've to get blood transfusion tonight.
Oh sorry, I have been missing again Dreamy.
Catching up now.

I suppose any symptoms and infections I get in the next couple of weeks will be bad but probably no worse than I’ve had before. At least I don't have the delirium.
You are doing so well Dreamy, you really are an inspiration to us all.
I am glad you have no delirium, that never helps.
Just keep posting your experiences and thoughts, that way you have dealt with each issue as it happens.
I hope you are sleeping as well as expected. x
So glad you are still with us, I got really upset at one point.
But, you bounce back. xxx
