Just been told I have to have another blood transfusion as the radio/chemo has lowered my haemoglobin levels so blood test on Thurs for cross matching then down to Preston for 8.30 Fri to have two pints dripped in then another blood test for chemo then radio appointment at 6.15. A long day! And at least two needles and a cannula as well.

I once had needle phobia susie, but I soon learnt to overcome it back in 1980 and my first 7 week stay in hospital, now its just part of my treatment, especially when I'm in house, but it doesn't matter how many times I going on the ward, I will never ever get used to the torcher that is taking blood gases, the is were the needle goes straight into the artery, usually in the wrist, now that does bring tears to your eyes believe me
