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.

MB there are no words You have been so upbeat and dignified through all this it is so unfair Thinking of you and your dh xx

Very sorry to see this. I'm in awe of your positive approach amid the desperate sadness.

I am sorry to hear this.
You seem to be the most amazing, strong positive woman, and i wish you strength to get through this.

MB, how sad. I'm sorry

for you and your family MB

(But there is nobody on these boards, nobody, with your dignity (ditto noddy) and humour - much respect to you XX)

Oh MB I'm so sorry.

Have typed and deleted several times.

Dunno what to say.

I dont tend to post on these threads, because I never know what to say, I am so very sorry...

a taster for your anniversary

I'm really sorry too, mb.

so sorry MB, .

Here's to Paris (I'll be a rotund red-faced bonne femme from Epernay who's chignon is lazily too far south).

Wishing you all strength and love. xx

I haven't posted before as felt I have little to add, specially as others 'know' you; but i just had to post to agree with noddy's post. I've read some of your threads about this and you have been the epitome of dignity.

I'm so sorry that you and your children are having to go through this and that your DH's life is so unfairly to be limited like this.

Really sorry to hear this. You are an amazing family. I hope you make it to Paris and that the remainder of your dh's life is as happy and comfortable as possible.

MB, as Tamum says I read this at work. It's so fcking unfair. I have been mulling over all sorts of platitudes I could say - about you and your DH, about the love you've shared and the life you've made, and so on and so forth - but none of it will be any help because I cannot tell you the one thing you really want to know, and I am so so sorry for that.

Thinking of you

Thinking of you, MB, and your family.

I recognise your name from advice/funny threads, but I never realised you and your family were going through so much heartbreak. Wishing you more strength to get through this.

I saw the title and was so hoping this was not you, I kind of lurk on your threads but don't like to intrude, thinking of you x

I'll send the gendarme for Califrau's tourists then...

good wishes from family Tickle tonight.

MB so very sorry.
