Boiled Sweets,Pickled Onions & Bananas.

It seems my blood thinner tablet isn’t the problem, my consultant said i could stop taking them this week as i have a week off from chemo but the problem continued so i went back to hospital,firstly i had to fast so i could have my blood taken to test if i was diabetic the result came back NO i wasn’t “was there anything you done different”no not that i can think off except maybe the THREE BOILED SWEETS i sucked to give me energy that morning, that will be it.

Whilst i was there i was sent to see Jason to investigate my cardiac problem, i was given a new ECG test but that came back OK, Tom the doctor who was tasked to investigate then thought it might be thyroid gland but that test came back negative, so back to the body stethoscope in hand it is now thought i have a heart murmur , ultra scan of my heart booked for this tuesday 21st Jan 10.30 am followed by my chemo at 12 noon. At the moment the beta-blockers seem to be working pulse around 84.

Pickled Onions, Bananas are a big no no for me i have never experienced such extreme indigestion after eating these “still learning”hot water bottle and bed . I have asked for the palliative nurse for a home visit Lisa came to see me on Thursday and brought me a diet plan where i was eating healthy i now have full fat milk, bacon sandwiches and anything that will put weight back on. Paine control paracetamol.Lisa returns next week.

Monday 20th bloods and Poole NHS consultant fingers crossed now i am being treated for Bile duct cancer and not pancreatic cancer i show improvement .

My White night Dr Chau is back, original biopsy of my liver has been delivered from Poole to Marsden hospital Sutton to have a more in depth investigation off my bile duct cancer,there are 32 different types, Monday 27th Jan is when i go to Sutton to see him can’t wait.

The past two weeks have been a roller coaster for me testing my mental strength, at one time i thought was broken no hope no one seems to have an idea, then out of the blue Dr Chau re-appears, followed by footballing friends from 20 plus years ago organising a reunion this Saturday thank you Graeme Trevett and the Coventry Arms boys.

Its funny you sure find out who your friends are when the chips are down.

So to conclude back on track Kim and Weesa you never loose faith in me even when im grumpy your strength is amazing.
