Hi all I haven't posted in a while but thought it time for a catch up my body has decided enough is enough with several tumors grown again and a lot of new in the neck area.all came out of the blue feeling good I minute in tons of pain the next.
I was admitted to hospital two weeks ago as my potassium level was critically high as well as in a lot of pain in my back.
So 3 blood transfusions to get the potassium levels under control one iron infusion as that then became low.
And a full CT scan which came back with the bad news looks like I'm moving into the final stages of palliative care when I get home.
Hope everyone is having a good Monday keep all the best Ryan
Hi Still-Here
I'm sorry to read your news, and that you've been in hospital for a while.
I hope they have been able to get all your bloods level, and are keeping your pain under control. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable.
Have you got a palliative care team already in place for when you go home? I'm sure you'll feel better once you're in your own home, with family and friends around you.
Sending you a virtual hug
Kate
Hi Still here I hope they get everything sorted out for you so you are not in pain and comfortable . I know how you feel with the pain as it can be like flicking a light switch and you're in a load of pain. One thing I think is it's nice to be at home . All the Best Minmax
Hi Ryan, It is good to hear from you again but sorry about the circumstances you find yourself in. Home is the best place to be unless you would rather be in the hospice if your pain is not under control.
I hope your palliative team have everything in place for you to be as comfortable as possible and your teenagers rally round!
Love Annette x
