So currently am in AAU for an overnighter hopefully. Arrived yesterday at 7.30am and was advised to stay in by 4.30pm…

Last week I was advised to have a COVID booster, something I was a bit wary of, (bar the fact that it stole two good days from me) once in the Round, and once neutropenia set in how would I fight off anything that might mimic COVID?

So thats kind of what has happened, I have got a throat infection which has made drinking and eating very difficult without pain and gagging. Thus the Oncology on call have advised I came into A&E.

Round 9 was a huge struggle to contemplate, I didn’t feel in anyway ready for it despite our lovely getaway to Aldeburgh and given what has happened perhaps I should have listened to my gut.

As ever the system is murky and hard to find a way through once inside it. Feels a bit like One Flew Over the Cookoo’s Nest. I don’t know how much longer I will be here or what this is that I have.

I am though definitely the youngest on this ward.
