Pamela thread 3 - Bile Duct Cancer, off to London!

[WilsonMilson]

Just starting a new thread.

Good luck for today, I'm so relieved you made it to London and are getting the treatment you need x

Good morning, hope you managed some rest <waves in a northerly direction >

hope the stent placing goes well for you

Sending healing thoughts to you Pamela ❣️.

Hope it all goes well today ❤️ I'm so pleased that you are finally getting the treatment you need x

Cheering you on for whatever today brings!!

I work very close by and would happily bring you anything you need.

There are a load of Boots nearby, a Lidl, and all the Prets and Caffè Neros your heart could desire. Even an Argos and an M&S Food further down TCR.

Thank you OP for highlighting the terrible, almost cruel, state of nhs affairs in NI.
And…thank you so much for your courage and massive effort in taking that far-off chance to set yourself on to the road to survival by travelling to London.
Another heartfelt thank you ……for continuing to write your story if and and when you possibly can. (you write so beautifully)
Not only are you helping yourself, but you are also now helping others in so many ways.

I was hoping and praying that you had a comfy, soft bed last night.

Hoping today goes well Pamela xx

I'm hoping that you had some half decent sleep and that today goes as well as it possibly can - will be thinking of you xx

I am so pleased to hear you made it to London. You are one brave lady, you'll be in my thoughts today.

Good luck today Pamela, will be thinking of you xx

Would love to help out a little, please think about the Go Fund Me page.

Still thinking of you, wishing you good luck today.

I've just moved to Northern Ireland and am in healthcare, I've got to say my jaw is on the ground, it's so so behind compared to the mainland and the waitng times are just cruel. I'm not sure what the problem is as there are far more doctors and hospitals in ratio terms than in England. I'm sorry to rant on your post but good luck Pamela and I'm in Northern Ireland if you need help with anything.

So glad you're there and I hope the stent fitting goes ahead today
Will be thinking of you
Much love Judith In Wiltshire

I'll be sending you kind thoughts and love this morning , hope all goes well.

Hope you had some sleep. I'm really happy you are getting this well deserved treatment in London Pamela. I keep my fingers crossed for you. All the best on the stents operation of going ahead today ❤

Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly today.

Hope you managed to rest and they made you comfortable.

Hey Pamela
i only really read the threads that come into my inbox highlights these days as I’m an old mumsnetter from the early days and my children are older now so I don’t have so many parenting questions…
The reason I found yours was because I was looking for reassurance/distraction/something in the health section as I’ve just had some bad health news of my own. I saw your thread mention Pancreatic Cancer and as this is a subject very close to me I came in here to read and obviously have learned about your situation as a result. My dad was diagnosed with PC in 2013 and it was a whirlwind of stuff in such a short space of time. He had a similar dilemma re. Chemo and he did give it a go and, I agree with you, it does kind of feel like really grabbing any lifeline available. It didn’t work out for him (bearing in mind he was a couple of decades older than you and was diagnosed very late stage) but we all feel (my mum, sister and me) that it was important for him to have that hope and opportunity so we don’t regret the decision as I’m sure you will probably feel - especially if there is some positive change as a result. Whether that be more time or even cure it can only be a good thing, right?
I’m going to follow your posts now. I do feel for you. You sound like me with the practical stuff. I am early days here but already my mind is thinking about the children and who will do all the stuff I do. It sort of helps but feels rather bleak at the same time.
I do so feel for you x

Thinking of you Pamela. So pleased that London is looking after you well. And hope everything goes well with the stent today. Lots of love & very best healing wishes. Xx

So very glad to hear your updates and that you are having care at long last. Sending much love xx

Sending very best wishes for today.
And another vote for Gofundme!

Good luck Pamela. Having hope and options are the two most important things in this kind of situation and you have both 🤞🏻🤞🏻

So glad you're finally getting some treatment! Keeping you in my thoughts, hope the stent op goes OK today ❤️

Glad you are getting the help you need. Enormous good wishes and good luck. Xxxx

So glad to read your update. Such a relief to be being cared for. I am full of hope for you.
