Tum tum te tum te tum .... the tune of our doorbell when the damp sets it off in wee small hours of the morning, and you HAVE to get up and look just in case.
I guess that getting up in the wee small hours will be a regular occurance from October. A two hour consultation has him pencilled in for Thursday 10th for anterior bowel resection.
The good news is that he has responded really well to the chemo and radio treatments…
Less blog / diary - more shouting at keyboard session.
Hubby doing well, holiday between chemo/radio and the BIG OP coming to an end. MRI and CT next week. Guess will be followed quite quickly by results consult and some vague op details. The bowel is to go, this we know. How much is left to join up with rectum as yet unknown. Permanent/ temporary stoma unknown. Dates unknown.
Hands still numb and tingly, feet still…
And finally some sign of improvement. Still a long way from normal but getting there.
Sometimes forget what normal is/was. But I know I'm in good company here with that one.
Hubby has been much more upbeat in the last few days and bowel movements seem to be reverting to pre diagnosis state. He is now brave enough to pass the occasional burst of wind (or fart to us uncouth commoners). Toilet movements are firming…
So how to continue. ???
I'm the wife and not the diagnosed.
Hubby has explosive bowel movements and a bleeding penis. Scared. Not seen any posts that seem similar.
Tearful moment
The radio burn is nasty, he was knackered when he got home,
P hew ew '.
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…
