Thursday; Session was unbearable. Emense pain and suffocated. Had to swallow 200 + times to try to keep
airway open. Nearly threw in the towel but realised 4 tunes had been played on the radio so knew was about to end.
It took me some time to recover, laying on the slab, i explained to nurses what i just experienced.
Friday morning: Look away now
To gross to post here.
Forwarded pictures to cancer care team. Then called about 0900 Hrs Friday morning.
My pictures were circulated to all concerened. Call bacl told me not to attend Friday's rediotheraphy.
Another call asked me to attend an emergency meeting first thing Monday morning with
Cancer Commander in cheif.
Monday;
Cheif doctor tells me he was reviewing latest scan images at the same time as he got news of my
phone calls and issues. Matched what he was looking at.
Cancer had massively flared up and radiotheraphy would have no longer have any possitive effect against it.
Treatment therefore, changed from curative to Palliative
Was given 2 choises: 1. Do nothing
2. Return to Chemotheraphy and Palliative care.
Left the building for 30 mins to sit in the sunshine with the ex Mrs.
Selected option "2"
All Radiotherapy immediatley cancelled. Now waiting for a new chemo schedule.
It will be once a week for 3 weeks then with a week off and repeat. How long for? no one knows.
(Radio' may be possible in the far future but highly unlikely)
The Chemo i will receive, i am promised will be the "Lite" version, with no chemo pump involved, Result
Even my GP called 1800 Hrs yesterday to let me know his team are available for me at any time also. Also, issued a "Not fit for work note"
extended to June. I even received in an email 10 minutes later. Blimey !
Oh well back to square one, see how it pan's out.
