Hi all Jim788 here had consultation this morning both agreed since my last chemotherapy 11th may unfortunately for me didnt work very well decided to stop any further chemotherapy I feel quality of life is more important than length of time and will get some pain relief organised start living what's left of my life with no discomfort who knows how long one has sorry about content sending pain free vibes to you my second family
Hi thank you for your good advice for me the chemotherapy was keeping the cancer at bay it just the side effects are difficult to cope with no enjoyment of life so I am hoping once I can get rid of the chemo inside I might regain some normality even if it's only for a short time as said yesterday is history today a gift tomorrow a myself
Hi Jim, I hope you can get some semblance of normality back in your life

Hi tvman for some reason I’ve only just seen this post. Thank you for your support, I know you and anndanv are no strangers to unrelenting pain. The neuro symptoms are all getting worse & I haven’t heard anything about an epidural so I hope we can just keep things stable until Tues. Looks like a beautiful day so I hope everyone gets to enjoy it xx
Sorry they are keeping you waiting with this pain and a bank holiday as well things get delayed.
we are enjoying the sunshine here I have my son home here and we have the wedding on Thursday,
hooe your pain is sorted soon xxx

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I really hope you get your epidural ASAP and you can get real pain relief.
My pain has gone up a notch or two because I've been doing a lot of gardening for my daughter, well for my grandson. I sent her a small package for growing potatoes, onions, leeks, cabbages and one or two others that I can't remember.
I sent them maybe a month ago to plant them with my grandson but she didn't get sowing/planting them. Her reason? Coming to the end of pregnancy and giving birth to my beautiful granddaughter! I ask you? Is that a fair excuse?
Well my grandson and I spent a lot of time at the veg bed. I needed a few breaks because I had a lot of pain. Of course I didn't mind though, it was quality time with him. Then we all went to the only village pub for a beer or two because they had a DJ etc, all geared to the football match
At the moment my grandson is cuddled up to me on the settee watching children's programs.
For you and everyone else the photo below is of me feeding my lovely granddaughter.
Take care everyone and stay safe.
Tvman xx
