On holiday in uk, dp is ill (not covid) and its all a mess **MNHQ title edit to suggest reading whole thread before responding***

[ghostmouse]

Holiday was moved from last year to this year and now I'm here im having a shit time.

Dp is ill, sudden gall bladder trouble and in pain and indigestion all the time. 3 strong lots of antibiotics and he's no better, tired all the time, lost weight as he can't keep much down.

I'm upset because I hate seeing him from going from a fit and active man to one who is sleeping a lot. The kids dds 9 and 11 know there's something wrong but they don't know what. Theres talk of ultrasounds and ct scans..I'm convinced he has cancer.

We shouldn't have come but dp wanted to. I'm going to the very limited shows with the kids but most of it is prebooked the whole atmosphere just isn't the same..just not the same.

I could cry (no judging) just going to drink a large glass of wine instead

Thinking of you

So sorry to hear your latest update. What an awful shock.

X

I hope you are ok OP, thinking of you and DP. (Flowers)

Hope it's gone ok

Oh gosh I’m thinking of you both. I agree Aswell make a bucket list together. I made mine at 25 when I got ill. Feel free to talk to us if you want too.

Hope you're ok and that you've been allowed to see him x

Thinking of you OP. Hope your DP is home with you.

Hope your DH is feeling better and you can both be together at home xx

Oh my goodness just reading your thread, thinking of you

Thinking of you all

I have been following and praying for you both

Thinking of you and your family OP

I’m so sorry Op. if you have a Maggies centre near by definitely go there if you can. The support they give people with cancer and their families is invaluable. Are you in wales or have I made that up? If you are, there are Maggies centres in Cardiff and Swansea. Big hugs xxx

Hi believe it or not we still have no further news
He is home on steroids and is surprisingly well considering. His pain is being managed well with very strong cocodamol and he is pottering about.

His results came back yesterday and he has an appointment with a consultant surgeon on Mon where they will discuss his results with him and hopefully move forward.this has been the worst 2 weeks of my life. Dp is so down too

I have been thinking about you and hoping you had had better news. I hope Monday brings some positives.It must be unbearable-peace of mind gone.

Hope Monday brings you some clarity and good news about treatment options. Must be such a tough time for you both.

So sorry ghost ,being in limbo is just dreadful .I imagine that on Monday you'll get more info as to what you're dealing with .

They'll talk you through the next stages ,probably there will be more scans and tests ,but I'm sure you'll get a diagnosis on Monday .

So glad that the pain is being controlled .

My heart goes out to you both

I am glad the pain is controlled and he can potter about.

Get him to ask if he can record the conversation or take notes. Often things are said but missed as the patient is concentrating on another part of the conversation.
Or see if they can dial you in so you can listen and participate over the phone.
Have a written list of questions that you want answers to.
I hope you get some direction and a clear plan going forward.💐

Liver cancer has spread from the bowel and somewhere else but they don't know where.
Hes a lot more tests and can't start chemo for another 6 weeks due to the covid back log

Can't believe this. I'm gutted.

There's always hope but i can't see it.

So sorry

So sorry to read your update.

Really sorry to hear this OP. I hope you get an action plan and some hope with it very soon. Is he still feeling relatively ok physically?

Bastarding cancer and covid delays, what a combination.

Sorry to hear the update 💐 keep strong. Hope he's feeling better than he was and that the pain is managed well. Hope you get some answers soon, the not knowing must be torture for you x
