Update on DH

88 replies

Blandmum · 29/03/2007 15:49

I thought thatI should really give MN an update on Dhs health.

He has now started round 5 of his chemo. The doctor is very plaesed with the progress he has made (unsurprising, given that many of the medics thought he would be dead by now!)

He gets very tired, but is still not in pain (thanks to some amazing high tech patches). He isn't feeling sick and has now put back over 40 of the 60 pounds that he lost.

Doc feels cautiously optimistic that dh should 'aim' to live to at least xmas!

We have an easter break booked and one at whitsun, and today I started booking stuff for the summer.

Things are as good as they can be

Oh and the hot tub is in,. and is utterly fab!

Thank you again for all your great kindnesses

disneyland was fabbo.

Dh was a real trouper and kept going all day. We didn't need a wheelchair, and with the 'Blue card' we bypassed most of the queues. We'd all have dinner together, then dh would crash out,and I'd take the kids for a swim.

It all worked very well
