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

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.

Life is so unfair MB, wishing you much strength.

On a positive note, I do a great underwear sneer and am available at short notice; could arrange to bring frenchman and a couple of dozen oysters and a quart of white wine, should they be needed.

MB -I'm really sorry. Life is really shite sometimes. I don't know you, but I've seen your threads before and I just wanted to say sorry, really, although in the circumstances its probably not the most adequate or inspired word.
