Update on dad

Hello lovely people I managed to get a go out to dad today , did all relevant checks and was actually quite happy with the observations he did eveything seemed ok apart from dads frailty due to not eating or if he is it’s tiny amounts, and he did have a urine infection , I think I mentioned there was a horrible smell coming from him ( he’s got a cathator aswell ) 

so the next plan is for me to sort his mri out , he didn’t go to his appointment on Wednesday due to the public ambulance arriving 2 hours early and he wasn’t ready so he was really upset about that ! 

as soon as dad has had the mri I honestly think we will get more answers for his cancer prostate spread to bone ( hip and 3 vertebrae) I’m going to try and get it asap !! 

Psa bloods are at 135 

he’s definitely loosing weight and he’s actually in bed most of the time now it’s sad !! I just wish he would eat more because surely then he would have the strength to walk about the flat ! 
he’s got carers coming in now morning and evening pushing fluids and encouraging him to move which I’m happy about because I’ve done all I can I’m exuasted ! 

dads got to engage more and answer the phone when consultants want to speak to him , he’s had a letter through the consultant wants to speak to him next week about his ct results and maybe plan for his mri or treatment but dad said he doesn’t feel up to it and he’s house bound at the moment and needs to gear up for this mri , so I’m hoping and praying they will do the consultation on the phone for him due to his circumstances he’s to weak at the moment , but like the dr said today it’s changeable he can put weight on , and I’m really hoping he does ! For his own sake 

thankyou for reading I told the gp today how this group really helps me so thankyou for all commenting and helping me through being a daughter of someone with this horrible c word
