Slight anti-climax since Christmas..
Matt has finished Chemotherapy for the next 28 days, but unfortunately as an adverse effect of Chemotherapy, Matt has developed Mucositis, which makes his mouth very sore and painful. This morning he couldn't speak at all and as a solution to a combination of painful swallowing and weight-loss (6kg loss since admittance), Matt has resorted to calorie boosting supplement milkshakes.
To help with the pain, a line has been inserted underneath the skin on Matt's tummy. At the other end of this line is a Morphine pump which pumps two units of Morphine every hour day and night. Matt was already sleeping a lot, but this will contribute further to his tiredness.
As well as this, Matt spotted an unfamiliar red patch on his elbow. He was wheeled to an x-ray to determine what it might be.. Watch this space.
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas
