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.

You both have been very brave.

I'm so sorry MB - you and your family are in my thoughts.

And I can provide les escargots...

MrsJohnCusack · 02/10/2007 21:25

so sorry MB and Mr MB

a family member of mine has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she is being so pragmatic and brave, and organising everything, and trying to spare other people's feelings and saying that she's had a good innings (she's 76, but the youngest 76 year old you've ever seen)....it's still shit and unfair. I'm sad enough about that - it's nothing like what you're going through and I've said it before but it doesn't hurt to say it again - you, and the love you and your DH clearly have for each other, are an inspiration

and I can provide some cheesy Parisian music via webcam. Could probably arrange for a male friend to come round and use your garden as a pissoir too...

roisin · 02/10/2007 21:27

I'm so sorry MB

moondog · 02/10/2007 21:30

BeetrootMNRoyalty · 02/10/2007 21:38

MB, bugger - am really sorry

All I can offer is Jean de Florette, and an Eiffel Tower key ring.

triplets · 02/10/2007 21:39

Hello MB,
I don`t think our paths have crossed before and I am so very sorry that we cross this way. As everyone else has already said, we admire your courage and just wish we had the power to change this for you. Life is unfair, I lost my son so know about lifes pain, paths we are suddenly diverted down just when we least expect it, but always the hope that we will find ourselves again, a new path which brings hope, love and laughter, may you all find that path one day again soon, my love to you all, xxxxx

MB I'm so very sorry.

Let us know if the RAF won't cooperate, and if you and Mr MB want to go ahead and try the trial drug - you never know what MN can come up with.

I can make a mean French apple tart and know several to-the-point rude Parisian words I can throw your way, too....

for your use, that is - not at you. Obviously.
