Hi, well, just out from a two week stretch in hospital because I couldnt eat or drink. Three attempts at getting an nj tube in and building feed up, and now being able to take meds. Oh this is scary!  I thank God for my hubbie! Meeting at Gloucester hospital tomorrow to discuss treatment plan, I hope, but need to build my strength.  Still drowning in salty egg white secretion and hate it. I hope everyone is doing ok.  

  • Sending hugs I remember that stage of bringing up egg white / wall paper paste stuff always taking a bag everywhere ! Thank goodness chemo stopped that ! Hope all goes well at you’re meeting and you get a plan Tricia x

  • Unfortunately they want to stent, closing the door to even having chemo because I'm not strong enough. Worcester team are saying no to stent just yet to give chance to recover and build up after hospital stay.  So still no plan...!

  • It is hard when views differ, maybe it is worth the chance to build up if you think tha is possible, only you know how you feel, if you disagree tell them and why you do. I wish I could give you a big hug HisJem. Try and stay positive with your chin-up

  • Hi, Steph, thank you for this. I've decided that the feeding tube is first part of my treatment.  Without this I would be very ill or worse! Believing my times are in God's hands x
