Update on DH

[Blandmum]

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

So glad you all had a great time. He's a champ. Stay strong Mr. Bishop.

wonderful news MB!! I hope Mr MB keeps going for a long while yet!!

So glad to hear he and you're doing well, MB.

You convinced me about Duinreil - we're going on Monday - really looking forward to it!

What a fantastic update, MB! I was wondering this morning how he was!

So glad things are going well. Enjoy the Easter break and the hot tub!!!

Yay Mr MartianBishop, that's great news. Those patches sound like a godsend. Enjoy that hot tub, sounds fabulous

mb that's lovely news, I have this nice image of your hottub too

I just opened this thread dreading that it might be bad news, but it's tears of joy instead. I am so pleased, he richly deserves a break (and so do you)

Are you still thinking about coming to the south of france MB? If so, will invite you for coffee and cake ( or an aperitif!).

I am so pleased to hear how well things are going.

what good news

your dh is a star

'kinell, MB, that's farkin brilliant. Under the totally crap circumstances, obviously.

I think everyone on MN - actually probably everyone on the planet - is utterly gobsmacked and humbled by your collective abilities to live life to the full for as long as possible.

Thank you for that update - sending you all the best as always.
Hot tub eh?

Brill ! Long may it continue.

I think of you and your family often, MB.

Fantastic news MB.
I often think about you (especially when passing the Beddgelert campsite which I do often.)
