Had a worlwind couple of months. So many things have happened. I had a catheter fitted because I couldn't wee and thought the tumour had grown over the opening. After a few days the catheter killed and I had what felt like a water infection. After a lot of messing around in hospital the catheter was taken out and I went home with water coming through and it continued okay for a day then today it is not coming through as much. On top of that the other opening for my bowels is dodgy, Got the feeling I needed to go but nothing came. So what next. it was thought the catheter hurt because the tumour was pushing it. So near what will be my last Christmas I don't want to be in hospital. On top of that because of degenerative changes with the cancer making it worse my head is dropping forward. When I get a bit tired it is very hard to hold it up. I am praying I manage to wee and poo tonight. Don't like being admitted on a weekend as not enough people around and everything is rushed. Honestly if a pill was available to put me to sleep I would take it as all I can see is more pain and anxiety. This tumour is horrendous.

Morning Julie, I hope you managed to relieve yourself last night, I know how awful it is not to be able to go, as is being in hospital at weekends, especially at Christmas, where I am as I post this, but sometimes hospital is the best place to be, I have read some of your earlier posts and understand the down times you talk about, but I also see the strength you have to get through them, and the wise words you have shared with others, your an amazing lady who's been dealt an awful hand. but we both have family to help us along.

Hi Jkg
I'm very sorry to read of all that's been happening for you. It sounds like a difficult situation. I hope you are able to find some relief, even if that is in hospital. I know it's not where you want to be at this time of year but i hope they will be able to make you more comfortable. I'm thinking of you.
