It seems I'm a patient now!

Hi HappyFeet1, they can’t remove the tumour, sadly, this is simply bypassing it as it’s not possible to remove, it’s gone too far. We hope it will give him some quality of life and allow the renal team to see if they can treat to reduce it at all. 
palliative care team are already helping lots with meds. 
sadly we hope we will get months, Surgeon Big George said months rather than weeks though, he hopes.

Big George sounds like the right person for the job, glad he’s confidence inspiring. And a bypass op can give a lot of relief. Hopefully it’ll all go ahead tomorrow and then see what the renal team can offer. Thank goodness for modern technology to keep you in touch with what’s happening. Wishing you a restful night, xxx

I managed to sleep till just after 5, so that’s probably 6 or so hours, watched daughter give herself immunoglobulin last evening, she’s just amazing! She has to go home tonight as she’s got ‘blood letting’ in Oxford tomorrow. But she’s been tremendous help and by her presence, it’s made sure I eat! 
we’ve been masked anytime we are in the same room together and windows have been open too. 
Today is son in law’s birthday so I really hope hubs’ surgery goes ok as I don’t want that to be a bad memory.  But Surgeon Big George will do all he can, I’m sure.

Sending lots of good wishes and positive thoughts for today.  X

Morning moomy, fingers crossed for today. So glad that your wonderful daughter has been there with you. Xxx

30% chance of him dying on the table says surgeon (not Big George but someone ‘fine’ he said) I posted back saying daughters odds were worse and that means 70% chance of coming through. But trying to boost someone’s spirits by text is rubbish.

Thinking of you today moomy so hard for you not able to be there ..wonderful your daughter is with you for support .xx

There are times when figures aren’t helpful I think. But you’re right to turn it round to the much higher chance of coming through. Just so hard from a distance. Wish you could be there holding his hand. Hope he’s early on the list, sooner he’s done, sooner you know the result. Thinking of you all. Xxx

There are a few small emergencies then he’s next on the list
