To all cancer friends new and old June was tough.

Not sure where to start but here goes Friday 12 June daytime I was fine, went to bed normal time but around 1am I had terrible stomach pains so much so Kim called a doctor out I have never had constipation but that was the problem, anemia later all seemed a little better,but come 10am an ambulance was called, things then went from worse to worse,the ambulance crew were with me for two hours I had now started shaking uncontrollably me still thinking there was nothing wrong with me, I got up and went downstairs I understand the crew phoned the cancer ward and they said to bring me in.

The rest of Saturday was a blur I honestly can’t remember much.

Sepsis was the opinion my blood pressure at one time was 75-57 and the doctor said she would do all she can but it could go the other way, the following two days I was on a drip 24 hours a day having vitamins and antibiotics, blood pressure is now around 120-76 which is normal.

Durleston Ward staff doctors and nurses I owe them a special thanks and Jason on the cancer ward.

Went home on the following Tuesday feeling great only to end up back in hospital on the Friday with a high temperature, spent the next day in hospital more tests but felt ok went home on the Saturday.

My temperature has peeked twice since paracetamol brings it down generally feeling ok now.

Swollen ankles and legs don’t seem to get any better, still not walking well, my voice is poor but my mind is strong.

Conference call tomorrow with professor Bridgewater been taking pills now for a month no significant change but do feel thing could be getting better just need to look after myself.

Music:- kept me going whilst in hospital over and over again Tevin Champbell- Can we talk

Thanks for all the messages just taking each day as it comes.

Kim Wessa Jimmy what a team don’t know what to say wouldn’t be here without them xxxxxx

  1. Thinking of you Steve and wishing you didn’t have to be going through all of this. I hope your temperature soon stabilises. I think it’s about time these magic pills could make you feel so much better. Fingers crossed. 🤞🤞
