A Diary Of a #Mesowarrior living with #Mesothelioma #Asbestos — COVID has worn us out but Negative again. Amsterdam on the horizon and Asbestos Police in place

So after dodging COVID for years we got caught and got through it.

When it came to it though we had to work through it on our own as there is so much information and yet not a lot for COVID and Cancer.

Our GP was great in helping with medication.

We had the antiviral drug and that got us to a clear 10 days of feeling very low,

I had decided to contact my Oncologist through my Meso Nurse and ask to come off Chemo.

I had messed about for so long with Bloods being out 3 times and delayed treatment I was in such a muddle to where I was.

Then I checked and it said to stop Chemo until well clear of COVID.

But I have been so low and felt so grotty that Im pleased I put a halt on everything. We have Isolated for 10 days and will continue.

The coughing has stopped, the house is quiet again at night.

It meant I had to cancel FAAM one of my favourite conferences, but I will use this time to get back strong again and hope that 2023 will be a better year.

So we are going to go to Amsterdam in November the 5th European Asbestos Forum foundation #conference! If YOU are an asbestos professional (or even an asbestos aficionado, then you simply have to be here. The latest science, insights, innovations – the exciting EAF is where it is happening. Where else do you get to visit the unique Asbestos Museum, have a private tour of an asbestos denaturation factory, get to hear speakers from four continents or join visitors from five?? Check out the programme and register at https://lnkd.in/edEEgkqa. See you in Amsterdam!

A Diary Of a Mesowarrior Living With #Mesothelioma #Asbestos –The MesoUK Patient Carer Day and now we have a Positive Covid Test

I thought September was madness, but October is even more maddening.

COVID has struck our house. We went to MesoUK’s Patient Carers Day last week and had a great time. It was so lovely meeting up with all our friends and really had a ball.

We travelled up a day earlier to Nottingham to miss out on a train strike. That meant we had the Belfrey Hotel to ourselves, and the staff were so friendly, so we spent a pleasant time there.

So many friends arrived the next day it was great catching up with everyone’s news.

A lovely meal out in the restaurant next door only we didnt know that but found out by calling for a taxi then found all we had to do was to walk through a hedge and past Lidil’s and we are there.

After an educational day the next day where we learnt so much it was time to change and enjoy a Gala evening.

Then a huge surprise in the awards was one for me

It was a great success and next day saw us travel home.

Then we started sneezing and feeling a cold coming on. Tested and yes we have COVID.

I must admit that the GP and hospital swung into action fast and we soon had the antivirus drugs delivered to us and we are on Molnupiravir.

We have had to cancel my Chemo treatment and other appointments to attend conferences until we can get a negative reading and self-isolate.

Oh dear does nothing run smooth in this house.
