We were told the bad news that the chemo hadn't worked again, although we are getting a second opinion hopefully, to be honest I am not hopeful. The prof is a good doctor, he has tried everything.
My partner is now a wheelchair user. He is going to come home for as long as possible, if he gets an infection that will be the end. If we are lucky he has weeks.
Don't think I'll be blogging for a while, gonna be busy for a while (long while I hope).
Love and good luck to anyone reading...

It is difficult for me at this...

Finally Sal's 6th and final chemo cycle has arrived. She had the treatment this morning and as it has been on all 6 cycles there was no reaction at all during treatment.
She is in bed now though because again, as with the previous cycles, she gets very tired very quickly and this combined with her getting very little sleep last night from the steroids she is completely shattered.
We have agreed that her Hickman line will remain in for at least 4 weeks while she recoveres from this cycle just...
My husband Tom has inoperable oesophagus cancer and is so desperate to be able to eat ,he has had 6 rounds of chemo which worked brilliantly for a few months and recently finished 2 weeksof radiotheraphy which has made the swollowing better but he can still only eat soups and drink liquids,some days they will stay down other days they come straight back up so he has lost about 2 st in the last few weeks.The doctors just do not be able to control the acid and although he has never moaned from day...
