Cautious positive for DH! So keep those good vibes going

[Blandmum]

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.

'kinell, MB, that's bloody fantastic! OMG, I'm so pleased and finger-crossing for you!
xxxxxxxx

good news MB - am keeping fingers and toes crossed for you ( it's making me walk funny though)

Oh, fan-bloody-tastic, mb, I'm so pleased. There was a thing in the paper today about how they're starting clinical trials with photodynamic therapy for pancreatic cancer in London, don't know if that's worth looking into? It's a more efficient drug delivery method, I think.

ohhh MB I'm absolutley chuffed to see you posting this.

Wonderful news for the MB family.

Yay, Martianbishop! I'm glad he's feeling and looking so much better. 9l is an awful lot of fluid

Thanks for keeping us posted.

Still sending positive vibes... x

So glad you've had some positive and encouraging news for the new year mb.

Thinking of you all often.

GDG

what wonderful news

Thanks for the update mb. Good to hear you've had a positive day. I think of you both regularly.

excellent news!

Is it the type of diabetes they can sort out with the tablets/injections?

Probably tablets, since his pancreas is basically stoping working (it is the site of the primary tumour)

sorry, probably injections!

Great news MB. Still rooting for you and thinking of you here.

Fantastic news, MB.

great news mb. will try to answer any diabetes questions if you have them.

I am so pleased to hear of your good news mb. Long may it continue. Lots of love xxx

So pleased to hear you've had good news at last

FIL is coping well with his diabetes having had his pancreas removed because of cancer about this time last year. Hopefully Mr MB will control his just as well.

sadly dh's is too far progressed for an op, as it has already spread

i am soooo pleased MB and it's so great to have you back.

I am so pleased you've had some good news MB. Here's hoping they can get the diabetes sorted.

I remember you saying that, MB I think they were gobsmacked that FIL was suitable TBH.

He was exceptionally lucky your FIL. Normally it is 'silet' so they don't pick it up until too late for surgery. Glad your FIL is doing well.
