Dh was (on top over all the other stuff) diagnosed as diabetic last week. But we are gradually getting the blood sugar under control.

Great news is, he is feeling so much better and has put on weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 pounds and it seems to be real body mass, and not fluid build up

That is fantastic news!It is always a good sign if it is true body weight esp as he has been so ill Lets hope this good luck continues xxx

He is not in pain, he is not being sick any more (it was up to 5 times an hour!), he isn't feeling any nausea, he is sleeping better, and has more energy.

We know the outcome will be the same, but we may well be looking at having longer, and more importantly better time together!

The trip to Disney in France now seems a possibility, a few weeks ago he couldn't cope with a trip to Tescos!

Thats fantastic news MB, Im chuffed for you all!!

I imagine that no nausea and feeling less lethargic must be a wonderful feeling for him after feeling so weak.

Fingers crossed that you can go to Disneyland.
