So if anybody is looking, Husband was diagnosed with bowel in January this year. He has done 4 cycles of capec and oxy. Quickly followed by 5 weeks of radiotherapy combined with the capec. (no time off for good behaviour).
Against the odds he has continued to work full time. Mobile service technician type job. Not always convenient.
He met an elite band of folk during his visits to Addenbrookes. Hats off to all who attended. The overlaps between appointments and diagnoses meant some left before he finished and others started as he left.
It has certainly been a journey.
For my beloved as the diagnosed and annoyingly me too.
Jumping in with both feet - my hubby is the biggest part of my life and my love the reason for ....
Swallowed a lot of pride and faced the fact that I was not dealing with stuff very well.
Been to GP. Hadn't been sleepng well, irrational anger, random crying.
9 days on from that and after 1st day (alcohol induced) sleep slightly improved. Have follow up with GP soon. Think I feel ok. Certainly less tearful and angry.
Hubby suffering. Big time.
Managed to get him last 2 thurs/fri of work as leave.
As reward for being so damn fantastique as husby. For not taking a day off sick or holiday. Because it was our anniversary....
Went to a lovely secret place in Hertford for 3 nights.
And now reality bites.
Wish I could take the pain away, Work kicked in again on monday. friday am and I went to work and he had an explosion.
He's been taking loperamide regularly anyway but we are talking explosion.
Nobody tells you that the tip of the penis can bleed. I have tears for the madness of it.
Nobody tells you that your A hole will explode with the force of the treatment#
Hubby cleaned up before I got home.
Phone call for monday includes stingy , bleeding, ouch
