Yesterday I was told I had to have a blood transfusion - I am getting on top of all of this medical stuff however I hit my limits at the idea of blood transfusions. I still clearly remember being 16 and visiting the Blood Bank for a school excursion. The lady showed us a bag of blood product and I promptly saw stars. I have never been able to look at a bag of blood since. So for 4 hours yesterday I had bags of blood attached to me - the process was not too uncomfortable physically however mentally it took its toll - I think I am going to look into phobia desensitisation!! Anyway the effects should be felt today and I should feel like a new woman apparently (or man maybe if it is male blood!!!). So life should be on the improve and I will start to feel a little better before they hit me with the chemo next Friday
