Fallen back to Regroup.

Less than one minute read time.

Well we presented ourselves at the given hour

scrubbed shiny, suited and booted and wearing to much eye makeup (only me) so I wouldn't cry. 

The verdict Top to Toe

  • Brain fine no abnormalities
  • Eyes Pupils are different sizes because of the cataract
  • Primary Oesophageal Tumour has not responded to Hereceptin and has grown considerably
  • Increasingly severe abdominal pain
  • All original metastisis have also increased in size
  • Tumour Markers rising fast
  • New Multiple metastisis in liver
  • Hb remains low due to internal bleeding

 Referred to local hospice,for palliative care / pain relief

Prescription to increase morphine and oromorph to hold Peter until hospice takes over 

Chest x-ray done to see if stent can be resited

Peter will have another two units of blood on Friday

May not be suitable for trials due to bleeding, 

Team considering any possible other options,details will be given to us prior to a team meeting for 3rd January when Peter will choose what he wishes to do. 

We managed to get all the way home before I washed off my mascara, with tears :(

    Thank you all, even tho we had a pretty good idea it still winded us.

    Didn't sleep that well, up at 5.30 to go and get our grandchildren up for school. (our daughter works nights and son in law has to leave for work before she gets home). 

    Got home at 9 am then Peter and I set about a debrief and reached the following conclusion :-.

    • Peter is the same as he was on Sunday ( pre- verdict)
    • Only change is we know now and he has better pain relief
    • We have complete confidence in his team.
    • Anything that can be tried will be offered
    • Our family and friends give us amazing support both practical and emotional,
    • You chaps here are brilliant .
    • January will arrive with the options, whether we sit and fret or not.
    • Agreed not to waste more time on worry
    • So we went to the cinema this afternoon to see The Hunger Games and both enjoyed it.

    NORMAL SERVICE HAS BEEN RESUMED XX
