So, went for Jay's oncology appointment this morning. Was up to high doe! Unfortunately, the CT scan has shown that his cancer has progressed and is sitting in his pelvis and the oncologist said that there is a slight showing in one of his lungs so it's more or less spread and there is a very slight decrease in his kidney function. His weight has dropped to 127Kg down from 133 the last time. He said the reason that his mobility is probably reduced is because the cancer is probably putting pressure on to his pelvis. His chemotherapy has been stopped for now because the oncologist doesn't think he is fit enough for the next session. He examined his legs and said there is a bit of fluid retention there as his legs had swollen slightly but he said there is still a lot of strength in them. So, he has given him away water tablets to try to get rid of this fluid he takes these for a week and then he wants to see him again in 2 week's time. I am absolutely beside myself. Sometimes you go to these things expecting the worse and they turn out for the better. Not for us unfortunately in this case.
