So I haven't posted for a while as things escalated rather quickly from my last post...Tony's vomiting continued on and off until 22nd May with increasing lethargy and lack of appetite due to him not eating .I'm annoyed with myself now for not calling the ambulance sooner but I allowed him to dictate the terms which I will never do again and trust my instincts if there is ever a next time...anyway it transpired that the cancer had progressed in his tummy and was pressing on his bowel causing a partial obstruction but before anything could be decided Tony collapse with sepsis and we were told he had days left...as you can imagine this was a shocking blow but one of the colorectal surgeons looked at Tony's scan and thought he could bypass the obstruction and fit a stoma which he did and it effectively saved Tony's life...when the surgeon opened him up he said the cancer was quite big so he managed to take a little out but he was pleased to see it was nowhere else in the abdomen and just confined to one area so I am trying to cling to that...Tony spent the next ten days in ITU whilst he recovered from both the surgery and the sepsis...the doctors were pretty amazed at his progress and he is now in a regular ward to recover further..his eating is improving but he has lost a huge amount of weight...due to this and being bed bound he cannot walk but we are waiting for a bed in our local rehab centre so they can work on getting him match fit for hopefully further treatment as the oncologists are concerned as to what the cancer is doing meantime but he is still here and fighting on...
