Hey guys,

The doctor advised me to go home for now and relax (or do my best to lol) as he will be away for at least 2 weeks. I travelled back to Malta yesterday and the pain I felt was petrifying, never felt the shocks, burning and lasers so strong!

Anyway, regarding the treatment, Dr. Rohr is planning to give me a 10 day inpatient treatment through a Hickman line (quite scared about the procedure!) and be hospitalised for 14 days. The first 2 days they will inject a low dose and increase gradually till I reach my limit and I am out of pain and 'awake'. Then I will remain 5 days on that dose and gradually decrease. The aim is obviously that I am pain free after the 10 day treatment.

Is this the normal 5 day inpatient technique or is it slightly stronger/longer?

And thanks so much for your help and support Mike and Jim
