Hi all, hope everyone is aswell as can be and there’s still some smiles to be had xx
little brief timeline, it’s always been a standing joke over the years whenever we went out we had boxes of Rennie or gaviscon!!
Hubby has worked in the Middle East for the past 17 years, never really had a doc here as always saw a camp medic if need be, plus he’s a big burly bloke who dosent need a doc!! he had obviously been struggling to eat for a while but not said anything, thinking indigestion.
Dec 21 holiday to Thailand, he can barely eat but goes back to work,
Jan work sent him to Dubai for tests, CT, MRI showed oesophagus cancer
Feb 14 arrived hme to a multitude of tests that showed spread to the hip so no operation but chemo
April 4 we get married
April 7 chemo starts, 8 rounds of xelox.
1st and 2nd round end up in hospital due to sickness, 3rd round arm in agony, 4th round Monday gone, been asleep since
cannot have immunotherapy as wrong type of tumour ?
Present day, house sold (long story) can’t afford the mortgage no insurance.
I am shattered from caring for him, working and trying to keep house, sell it, pack all by myself. And now concerned we’ll be homeless
My question is, do we rent in the same area where even after all this time we have not even seen or met his actual oncologist or move to a diff area that’s well known for its oncology dept.
sorry for the rambling xxxx
