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

Very sorry to hear this. If it is very rare then he should be seen by doctors that have experience in that type of cancer, or at least be in contact with others who have dealt with this before.

I’m so sorry. I hope he responds well to treatment.

How are the children coping? It’s so difficult and frightening for young children when a parent is very ill.

Sending all good wishes and Flowers to you.

Sorry to hear the update, hope your bearing up ok, and the kids too.Keep strong ❤️

ohsuzannah · 31/05/2021 14:13

I had a very bad gallbladder before it was removed. I lot of the pain I was getting was in my stomach, from the bile pouring into it. The only thing that helped that was a glass of ice cold milk. Or really cold water to dilute it. Sounds mad I know but it worked for me. Hope your DH gets the help he needs soon Thanks

shitfuckbollocks indeed Flowers sending best wishes
