Wednesday 23rd September – CT results, it was good news – very good! Dad’s lung tumours had shrank so all set for chemo on Friday 25th Sept. I can’t even describe just how happy we all were, my sister me and Dad were there together.
Friday 25th September, I took Dad for his Chemo, the nurse was worried about his breathing so called the doctor. She suspected blood clot on his lung, we didn’t get out of hospital until 20:00 hours, such a long day! Had to take dad back daily for injections (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). Tuesday 29th Sept, Dad had a CT scan and the clot was confirmed so he had another injection. The consultant decided injections are the best way forward and warfern would mean no more chemo. I have arranged for the district nurse to come out daily to administer the injections. Dad has picked up lots and his breathing is better but still not as good as when we got his good news on Wednesday 23rd. He will hopefully have chemo this Friday. I am back at work today but had last week off to look after him.
I myself have some amazing news! My lovely boyfriend proposed to me on Saturday 26th September, he asked Dad’s permission and he was simply thrilled! The big day will be before 16th Jan as my lovely fella will be back at work and he works at Sea. So its all manic but in a good way! xxx
