Nightmare at the moment.

 

As I've mentioned the wife's dad has cancer of the esophagus, now it looks like her sister 'may' have Ovarian cancer. Just unreal.

 

Her dad had his op last week but they couldn't connect the stomach, so they've got to go back in today for a seven hour op to connect his bowel to his throat instead. Sounds like the staff haven't been looking after him and he's been sat in his own crap and unshaven for most of the last week. He's been getting confused and shouty - which is really unlike him.

 

Then yesterday her sister, who's been doing all the heavy lifting with hospital visits and stuff for their dad, went for a scan and they found something called a 'complex cyst' on her ovaries. They said it's an unusual shape and the 'markers' in her blood were high, so they've sent her for more bloods. She had to break the news to her mum last night, with the dad's op being today.

 

Just unreal. Heartbroken for them all. They really do deserve a break.

 

Life eh. It's mundane until it's not. 

 

 

 

  

 

Fingers crossed for both of them Mark.

Just got back from having my bone scan news. The main and good news is that the cancer has not got into my bone structure. The pain in the arse news is I will have to do Radio Therapy at Addenbrookes  for 4 to 7 weeks every bloody day, to clear the prostate and possibly a lymph gland, which I have to have a Pep scan for. This doesn't start for at least two months. About an hour there and back and it only takes under 1/2 hour. Anyway, other than exhaustion I'm gonna live.

 

You're all gonna have to put up with me for a bit longer yet!

 

Anyway, all the very best to those of you and your loved ones who are having to go through all this shit.

Really pleased to hear that. Thank fuck !  My next scan is in June. You are giving me hope.

Cracking news Dave.

Great news Dave.

That's great news!

 

PET scans take a bit longer than the CT scans, so are a bit of a pain, but are great for peace of mind: they go to a molecular level and can pick up any other bastard things that may have been lurking there and thinking of fucking you over. It's great the doctors are being so thorough. Sounds like you are in good hands.

PET scan not PEP is it? I couldn't even get that right!

I was going to make joke about the PEP scan but remembered this is not the forum for that subject!

Great news brother. The radiation will give you a super prostate and turn you into prostate man, you'll be able to put fires out with it.

[Stouffer]

Weeks of RT will be a pain D' but will be over before you know it. The Mrs. finishes hers on Tuesday after 3 weeks and other than the travelling takes no time at all.

What a relief, Dave…and as Stouffer says, it’ll be over before you know it. There’ll be many more Christmases to endure!

Let us know when you start mate. Addenbrookes ain’t too far from me, I can come up there a couple of times for a coffee if you like, and drive you back to the train station.

Don't do it, @tokyojoe - you're too old to be groomed on the internet.

[Captain Turdseye]

Oh, I definitely have ulterior motives.
 

For one, there’s a Burger King in the hospital. 

[YorkshireRed]

I tend to avoid this thread, it’s a tough read for a wuss like me. Glad to see some positive news in the last couple of pages. Hopefully many more to come.

 

Keep fighting all.

Mum went in for the op on her back yesterday and as they were concerned by her arm

operated on that at the same time too. 
 

Results from the op will be 6-8 weeks and she’s waiting for an appointment for the sentinel node biopsy but they want to do that one under general anaesthetic. 

Mum is still waiting for results. 
 

Gra (her husband, posted about him before) has the same rare form of skin cancer as mum.

 

He’s had his ops and has started a years course of immunotherapy, however his last CT scan showed shadows on the brain so he’s been rushed in for an MRI. 
 

He’s hoping to have the results back within a week.
