I’ve got the Oxycodone down to 5mg / day, and no noticeable side effects. What’s more I was able to eat a whole helping of shepherd’s pie in one go.

On the bad days, and there were a lot of them, I still tried to do a post. But some of the worst days were in the hospital where I coud not get online, and those times were bad. So I’ll go back and try to fill some of those in now. Continue reading »

This should have been a long blog, full of stuff about dealing with pain and fear (or not dealing with it).

We’ve got the dates now for the next lot of appointments. Wednesday this week we see the local nurse to have the stomach tube checked out, and then in the afternoon we see the surgeon at the MRI for a full report back on the histology report. The Christie appointment comes 3 weeks later when we go to the notorious Room 42 for the outpatients. The second round of chemo will probably start a week or so later. Continue reading »

Nearly did not make it.
Friday the side drain wound broke open during the final physio check, so they kept me in.
Sunday they said I could go at 2pm. At 13:30 I started vomitting, so they kept me in for another 3 hrs observation.
Now I’m back!
The day started badly. I slept badly and woke up feeling revolted by the idea of food. So I dined on small helpings of cereal and later a whole bacon slice.
It’s slowly got better through the day. I’ve not eaten anything like normal, but I had one of the concentrates, which helped, and I am feeling a bit hungrier now.
So far I’ve gone through several 100 emails, and we both feel I’ve improved a lot during the day.
I’ll write more tomorrow. First I want to send some targetted thanks, including to the medical staff who looked after me so well.
