Hi there, the only problem notifying the media is it would probably have to be in book form, the things I have been through this past 6 years, is Murphy's Law, if it was going to happen it would happen to me. For instance, I checked the radiator of my car, something I have done since the age of 15 so I knew what I was doing, but this time it was different it had back pressure so a delayed reaction with the radiator, knocked me down the driveway, my husband neglected to tell me he had cooked the motor the day before, probably hoping he could blame it on me, I rushed inside jumped in the shower took off all of my jewellery, and I had a habit of wearing a lot because it was a pain taking it off, so here I am, I grabbed the burn cream out of the refrigerator I had got from the burns unit prior, another story, covered the right side of my face and arm, ran next door told my husband to get his own bottle of coke from the shop I was going to hospital and I drove myself, I didn't even give him time to respond so of course the nursing staff at the ER looked at me weird,I had my AC chemo the day before, it was even weirder when later they told me my husband was outside so he must have left right behind me, then of course I had to lay there for hours with cold dressings on me to monitor the burn, where I had taken my jewelly off there were blisters, the metals had heated up and burnt me, apparently I had done all the right things, and who should come down and visit me, my Onc, he asked me what I had been doing to myself so I told him I was eveninng up the sides, so from then I had to have daily bandage changes for a month, and what happened next, my next dose of chemo, no portacath then, so the male nurse had to unbandage my arm, find a spot he could insert the canuala and give me my chemo, and re bandage me, so to this day he doesn't let me live it down. I have now scarring whatsoever and I healed while on chemo, and that was all within the first months of treatment in 1998, so you can see what I mean. I think I must be some kind of freak. I told the chemo unit that when they find the cure for cancer the aliens will think we are smart enough to meet them and this is all a test.
Love & Hugs Lyn
