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.

Great to hear your news. I had my fingers crossed when I read the title that you would be the poster.

aah I see (re the injections) - I hope that'll help with some of his tiredness also mb (think the diabetes can make you tired as if everything else wasn't tiring enough!)

lovely news, hope they sort it soon
