Well. Having just joined the group things have taken a downward turn!

On Thursday I went to the GP nurse, for my warfarin levels.  I was , have been, feeling a bit breathless. Asked if I could see GP.  Was seen and immediately sent to hospital. INR up to 7.3!

On arrival at hospital I was admitted through urgent care and on s ward within hours put on oxygen and given vitamin K to reduce INR levels and an x-ray which showed liquid in the right lung 

Friday morning levels low enough for me to have a drainage....1 litre drained.... sent for biopsy....still on oxygen but I can breath

Tomorrow I have a scan.  They suspect secondaries developing since last scan  So I don't think I'll be in the group for long Joybut I've always maintained a positive attitude and now is no different.  Whatever tomorrow brings I'll deal with it in my own way.  I'm fortunate here in Spain ,the care is high quality and quick.  From GP to admission....four hours!  I'm very comfortable with a little pain following procedure and on MST and IV paracetamol PRN.  

Not much else to say really.  I'll update tomorrow once I've seen oncologist
