Bowel cancer CARERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS chat

Hi Karen. He would have a fit with me as I did ask should I ring and he said no.  I just feel so alone like you all do.  Daughter away til tomorrow tea time. 

torry I really feel for you walking through the door. Just cry and let it all out. I have to go to daughters and feed the fish shortly not that I want to. 

just not a good day at all. Tummy churning etc. tomorrow is another day.  Love and hugs to all Maggie xx

Maggie go in another room and ring or when you go to your daughter's men don't want to bother anyone but if I had not rung the ambulance twice for Simon even though he said don't he would be dead from bowel blockage and reaction to his heart from Chemo listen to your gut if he isn't going to the toilet that is a worrying sign just ring xxxx

Hi Helen bless you what a amazing family you have they really are important to us Spain sounds wonderful I have had chat with Simon he is staying here with me after he has gone so I can talk to him all the time and feel he is still with me I bet it felt strange going home  so sorry about Paul obviously don't want to ask about his health but I'm sure the trip would help him loosing his dad xx . 

I would ring as well. Kevin never wanted me to but I did anyway and it was the best thing as he ended up in hospital for 8 days with urine infection and he said I did the right thing so go for it.

Jkee he has managed a small poop but he is sat with me on the other sofa and would be fuming if I rang. He thinks it is trapped wind but I am not sure. He listens to my daughter but not me. He was stressed about his mums bungalow but is sold subject to contract.  He has been really stressed about it and his sister (who does not know about him) and never keeps in touch just wants the money. That is another story. He has been in the shower but looks weak. He did not have his calcium magnesium infusion with the chemo so not sure if that has not helped. 

thank you all for thinking of me and I am thinking of you all Maggie xx

Hi Maggie!  I echo what the others are telling you. Get him some help. You should have a 24 hour emergency number if you are very concerned. Jay was the same always telling me not to phone anyone but in the end up I did it anyway. Saved his life a few times with getting those sepsis infections but unfortunately didn't at the end up and the times he thanked me for getting him to hospital when I did I was glad when I did it. Take Care. Hope he's ok.

Hi Vicky and all. He has been this morning and looks better. We see the oncologist this Thursday but if I am really worried I will ring the number and see what they say.  

thank you all again maggie xx

Good luck on Thursday Maggie. Will be thinking of you both. Another wet day here so no gardening for me today. Having a lazy day instead.

Thank you. I am beside myself with worry. I don’t have to explain as you all know the situation. 

love and hugs to all Maggie xx

Good Luck for Thursday hope it goes well. Had a lovely afternoon out today with my sister meeting up with my cousins. My cousin and her husband were on a short visit over from the Isle of Wight they were going to see the Edniburgh Tattoo and were staying over with my cousin Linda who helped me out with Jay's funeral. Was nice to get out for a little while and the weather stayed dry for a change. Went to a nearby park where they have a lovely little cafe so we went there too and had a bite to eat. I have my sister Margaret;s colonoscopy looming over us for next week. I'm worrying too but as I said I hope its something and nothing or nothing concerning at least. TakeCare Everyone.
