Last week’s (Tuesday) dose of Pembrolizumab, they found the vein the first time this week….30mins, then a 10 min flush….all in all a 2 hour visit…they are so busy in LRI chemo suite….5 nurses to 37 patients. Also on prednisolone due to the polymyalgia cause by the pembro, plus rashes, itches and fatigue….all being managed well though but some days are harder than others. CT due in October to see if the treatment is working….so fingers crossed!

I am not a professional book reviewer, just an avid reader. I have a lot of ‘down’ time, due to my various treatments for Metatastic Malignant Melanoma (Stage 4). So I read.
Books are my escape and relaxation and my reviews are my honest opinion. If it’s tripe, I’ll say so and alternately if it’s excellent I may gush a bit. Many books are a good read, but are a bit forgettable, others, however, touch your soul a little and stay with you bringing a little magic to life.
I am 56 and I have stage 4 Malignant Melanoma and have been having various treatments and surgery over the past four years to help prolong my stay on this planet. Currently on Pembrolizumab..every three weeks....Good days and bad days and at times a lot of Scanxiety....

You have really really tiny veins, and the chemo would made it still thinner and friable. That is a 24G jelco… I would probably use it in a newborn or a month old baby…
Very tough!! Hang in there. Sending you all positive healing vibes.. Good luck. Fingers and toes crossed
