Have you seen the Tom Cruise file “Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow“, if you have you will know what I am talking about, sorry if you have not.

I am back at the start in regards to Rituximab treatment, back in the hospital, same place same treatment, but that little further along. I also know that in 4 weeks time it will start all over again from the same place doing the same things, maybe a little differently but the starting point will still be the same, for me the hospital, for Tom it was getting off a bus.

When wondering around I did notice a few things have changed The first thing, the car for Chemotherapy patients was moved (which thrown me), I was on time until I could find the new car park. Well I did in the end but not until I had parked into the multistory car park, which is now back being chargeable (£7.10 for up-to 4 hours). Some consolation, is that it was empty, so looks like no-one else could find.

Other changes, the big bus in the car park, gone. The waiting room is now set-up with single chairs per table and spaced out with 2 meter gaps. Still no relatives are allowed into the waiting room. However, it was very quiet, only a few people were there waiting to be seen. Looks like all appointments are still being done via telephone calls.

This rounds treatment was straight forward, there did notice that my blood pressure was on the low side, 96 over 60. I must admit I have no idea what these figure mean. So this is were Google comes into play.

Yes according to Google, who we all believe and trust, my blood pressure is in the “Ideal Range”. So all is good. Well the site Google sent he to is

So I survived another visit to the Beacon Day Unit and I must say all the stuff there are great and very welcoming. But I would say I wouldn’t recommend going unless you really have too……

Until next time “arrivederci“.
