Scan Result

Cancer stable & tumour marker coming right down but she had another "episode" in Outpatients. They think the recurrent infections may be coming from the stents & want to see her next week before restarting Chemo.

She's exhausted & gone to bed. I'm shattered from the waiting & may be heading "up the apples" myself, before too long.

Good Night!! X

Scan Result Day

Fingers crossed. Will post later. X

AN EVEN MORE MASSIVE THANK YOU!!

Since my last post, donations have continued to flood in from Bloomsbury & Moorgate staff, reaching £325 in less than 48 hours. These donations, together with earlier gifts from family & friends, shot us up to our initial £500 target by mid-this-afternoon.

I'm finding it hard to find the words to express my delight & gratitude for all this generosity. A very big Thank You to everyone who has already contributed & to everyone who will still do so.

Yes - our first target has been smashed, but the fight still goes on. In fact, I've decided to up the ante by raising the target!! Sneaky, I know - but cc doesn't stop at £500 & neither should we.

Please remember to pass the link on to friends & family - let's show Cholangiocarcinoma that it made a big mistake when it decided to mess with us ... X

A massive THANK YOU to my friends at the College of Law (London Bloomsbury & London Moorgate branches). Over £200 donated in less than 24 hours.

You are such a brilliant bunch to work with. Thank you. X

BUMS!!

Last Feb she went down with the Norovirus - this year it's Klebsiella Pneumoniae (www.answers.com/topic/klebsiella-pneumoniae). It sounds vile & there's some dispute amongst the doctors at A&E as to whether she should be admitted & put on an antibiotic drip as an in-patient, or sent home with 2 courses of oral antibiotics. So ... she's been sent home, called back & now sent home again.

She missed Chemo last week, as she felt unwell, & now isn't sure whether she'll be having it tomorrow either.

I suppose we'll just have to wait & see.

It was another 999-job when her temperature shot up to 39.8 on Friday evening &, whereas last time she was completely out-of-it, this time she fought me - & the Ambulancemen - all the way. I think, in the end, they just sweet-talked her into taking a nice trip in a nice ambulance ... Scary to realise how easily we can be sweet-talked when we're ill!!

Still, by the time we left A&E at 2.00am, two paramedics & a night-shift A&E doctor were proudly sporting the Cholangiocarcinoma wristband & promising to help get our name out there :-D
