still struggling...

1 minute read time.

Hi all.

The stent was fitted on thursday and my husband came home friday afternoon. He is in a lot of pain which he describes as local to the tumour. The stent is a hefty one - 12cm and has been fitted right to the junction of the stomach. Perhaps this is contributing to the pain as the bulk of the tumour is at this sight.

Sunday today and he is still in a pretty bad way, nausea, sickness, hunger and pain as well as a slight temperature.

He really hopes to get some decent nutrition inside and hopes therefore to feel better, have more energy and a better dispotition. It's hard to watch him stryggle endlessly.

Our 9yr old has been quite tearful and hard work. She doesn't yet know the extent of her daddy's condition although she seems to suspect things aren't right.

On a happier note, the people at Chelsea FC have given our 6yr oll son the opportunity every boy dreams of - he will be a mascot this tue night in their UEFA match against MSK Zilina. He will be leading out the Zilina captain! He is beyond excited and shopped today for an autograph book. He gets to visit the eam in their changing room prior to the game. Husband going too - if health picks up. It's good to give them something lovely to smile about x

    hi my pop had a stent fitted a month ago and was quiet poorley for the first couple of days till things settled down. He ate alot better after this although not what he would like to eat (bacon,egg,sausage and steak) but he managed more than what he was until recently. I hope your huband gets better soon and can start eating again.

    Hi Cookie,

    Sorry to hear that your husbands stent hasnt settled down yet,give it another couple of days and

    lets hope things improve.

    Isnt that great for you son to be leading out Zilina

    as their mascot. That  will give him plenty to talk about at school. I will be keeping my eye out for him on the  T.V. You look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx
