Consultant saw him today and feels that chemo is working well, as he isn't filling up with fluid.

Told him that av life expectancy is 3-6 months, but 25% of people on his regime reach a Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down side, he is now diabetic....plus to this is that if they can get that sorted he will put on some weight....he has now lost 1/3rd of his body mass

So a positive day for us.

Excellent news mb - so pleased he isn't filling up with fluid, and that the chemo has proved it's worth.
And you have vibes and best wishes aplenty from me.

He is much more comfortable now he doesn't have 9 litres of fluid inside his peritoneum!

beckybrastraps · 02/01/2007 18:52

21 litres. Holy mother of god!

Blandmum · 02/01/2007 18:53

Unreal isn't it! With 9L dh looked about 5-6 months PG

Sorry - I of course meant to say that I hope his regime continues to do it's thing and gives you as much time and as easy a time as possible.

JanH · 02/01/2007 18:55

9L is like 2 of those big bottles of screenwash - was it all in the front?

21L doesn't bear thinking about. What a relief it must be to have it drained.

beckybrastraps · 02/01/2007 18:56

I am imagining 10.5 large lemonade bottles...
