Update on dh, not anaemic but oncologist comes up with more treatment

well, we have to hand it to our oncologist. She has managed to find a third line treatment for dh that will hit both his primary in the pancreas and his tumours in the bowel. As it is licenced for use in the bowel, and she has shown that his bowel cancer markers have risen, she can get the treatment for him without getting comittee approval.

so, not only is this woman a great medic , but she also knows how to play the system and is really pulling out all the stops for dh.

and she also thinks that he is still well enough to get some benefit from the treatment, which gave me (and dh) a bit of a lift.

so a good outcome.

No esults on his breathing problems, they may do another scan to look at pleural effusion
