Fluid back in Dh's abdomen, this means the drug ttreatments have stopped working

[Blandmum]

Dh has been in increasing pain. the last CT scan showed no-regrowth of the tumours but the pain has been increasing so the consultant sent him for an ultrasound.

there is fluid back in the abdomen, not a lot, but this is a strong indication that the drugs have stopped working. There are no other treatments available, other than something in clinical trials which might buy us a month.

The consultant has sent us away for a months holiday from the drugs and will review the case them. But in reality I feel that she is just doing this to break us in gently.

We knew it would happen at some point. Still so hard to deal with.

It depends on if the RAF will fund it, as he isn't prepared to put our money on to 'Such a risky outcome' (his words). If the RAF will cough up, he would give it a try, I think.

mb if he's not up to it, do Paris At Home, I'll send the garlic garland, xx

LOL!

tamum will be round to serenade on her bike, complete with cycle basket of champange & brie and MI will surely want to send a plastic eiffel tower..

Oh yes. I will send a street cafe and I might rustle up a couple of Sorbonne types in cordoroy to go with. (They don't require much feeding MB).

I will need some terribly smart and stylish MNetter to come an sneer at my poor taste in clothes in that wonderful French way!

Would you like some absinthe for real authenticity?

Well you know what they say, 'Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder!'

Boom, boom

You are in my thoughts MB.

MB, Shit, life is so unfair. yes i know they didn't expect him to survive this long and i know you were expecting it but it is still so hard to deal with (massive understatement)

MB - I am sorry.

(And what a terrible joke!)

Really sorry to hear this MB, you all sound amazingly brave. I'm very happy to offer my mime services for the paris weekend. I can do 'in a glass elevator' really well.

Oh MB and MrMB - I'm so so sorry.

Oh so sorry to hear that, mb. I guess knowing it was coming doesn't make it any easier to deal with .

Oh, I'm so sorry MB
I can lend Truffaut DVDs and send a bar of Mont St Michel quintessential cologne French hotel soap...

Oh, tarceva - my mother tried that for a while - her PCT funded it I think. (I know it's hardly an original thought, but the lottery surrounding these things is outrageous.)

Oh Sweetheart.

oh no MB

I don't know what to say. I am so so sorry

Oh, I'll come and sit right next to you and your DH having a romantic meal and blow cigarette smoke all over you.

You really sound so wonderful mb, I'm so in awe of how you and dh seem to be handling this

and you still come on here and give advice to other people, that is mind bogglingly awesome

Your dh and your dcs are lucky to have you

Oh bollocks MB . I am sorry. I hope the RAF cough up if that is what your DH chooses. I think you have been amazing through all of this and given strength to others I am sure. Thinking of you.

Oh, MB, am so sorry about the bloody drugs. Paris sounds like an excellent idea.
