The Dr was right this cycle 8 is tough. Peter , who has coped stoically to date has hit the wall.
He sleeps most of the time, has stopped eating and drinks very little, the weight is falling off him and he has had enough, Its horrid for him to feel so bad he says he would rather roll over and give in than carry on like this.
Peter has a CT scan booked on 5.07 2013 to inform what palliative treatment /care is offered, this being the case we have decided to call time on this last cycle of chemo and stop the Capecitabine 12 days early when the CT is done. as it will not make any difference to what is offered at the appointment with Professor Cunningham to discuss the next step is on 12.07.2013.
In the great scheme of things 24 doses isn't much is it, but just to much for Peter right now.
This does seem a gloomy blog but the next one should be brighter
