The blood tests I had for blood clotting came back before I'd even finished receiveing my chemo treatemtn, despite the fact that they had to be sent over to a different hospital. The results were borderling, so it was decided to send me for a CT scan in case of a pulmonary embolism. Apparently there was some debate on whether to send me over to Slough immeadiatly, or if it could wait until morning, but in the end it was decided to be OK to wait, and I was given an appointment for 10:30am yesterday.
I was a little worried about this, but the oncologist reassured me that it was most likely nothing, they just wanted to be certain. I was also worried about spending another day in hospital, but as it turned out I was in and out of Heatherwood hospital in just over half an hour. And within an hour, I had my result - no indication of any blood clots. The tightness in my chest is most likely a low level infection or a result of lower heamoglobin levels, so just something to keep an eye on.
So rather than a day in hospital, I spent the day in Reading with Kate having a girly afternoon, we went to see Twlight - not exaclty the greatest movie ever, but a nice few hours of escapism.
