Here we go

I'm on my second day in hospital already. Yesterday was a mixture of a lot of hanging around for them to put in the central line and then waiting for a bed on the ward. The central line insertion was fine and it's being used as I type for today's chemo. I was nervous before the procedure, but then they gave me a sedative and suddenly all my problems were over! I floated around for a while before it wore off, and the procedure went smoothly.
Today's drug is called Campath. For the medically-inclined among you, it's a monoclonal antibody whose purpose here is to reduce/remove my T-cells (a certain type of white blood cell). This is effectively starting to dampen-down my immune system and make it more receptive to the stem cells when they arrive. I will have the Campath today and tomorrow- 12 hours each day hooked up to the drip.
Sue's here with me at the moment. Once she's gone I think I'll get very bored as I can't get my tablet to connect to the WiFi network- I was relying on that to watch tv/films. Luckily my phone connects, so I'll watch stuff on that.
