Wonderful to read such a positive update Pamela and to hear that you are being looked after so well. Thinking of you and your lovely family and willing your levels to drop so you can start the chemo and immunotherapy next week 🙏 xx

Seenoevil33 · 08/07/2023 17:28

So happy to read your fabulous news! Rest and let those drains do their work

Lysianthus · 08/07/2023 17:29

Gorgeous photo of you. Hope you start to feel better and in less pain. With love Xx

Theloosegoose · 08/07/2023 17:30

Best update ever. It really sounds positive. Fingers crossed for chemo/ immuno to go ahead asap. I don't know if you've heard of Rick Simpson Oil ( he has a book and there are Facebook groups) it's saved many a cancer patient from the brink. I hope you are not too sore this evening. Personally I don't think oromorph is enough, it's too short acting x

Fortheloveofgodwhy · 08/07/2023 17:31

Fabulous update. Hope you managed a bit of cake.

idiotmum · 08/07/2023 17:37

Usually a lurker but wanted to make it known how many 'lurkers' are following your journey and praying for a miracle or at least for you to be comfortable and have precious time with your family.

Happy belated birthday Pamela. X

SlightlyJaded · 08/07/2023 17:37

Absolutely brilliant update.

Cakes and Drains - who'd have ever thought that was the pinnacle of hope?!

Your care team sound epic which is no less than you deserve. Onwards!

Devgov · 08/07/2023 17:38

Was so pleased to see such a great update, hope the drains continue to do their job and you feel better very soon. What a fabulous photo of you with the cakes, hope you managed to have a nibble!
Lots of love from Lynda in Hertfordshire ❤️ xx

Babycakes39 · 08/07/2023 17:42

Your last post has made my day! I'm so happy for you and your family that you've finally had some positive news! Long may it continue! Xx

Percypigmystery · 08/07/2023 17:42

So delighted to read your update 💕
Thinking of you and sending every good wish there is xxx

heathspeedwell · 08/07/2023 17:55

So delighted to read your update. I can't imagine how much courage it took for you to decide to get on that plane to London, but your bravery and tenacity is really paying off. Your whole family must be bursting with pride. Thinking of you all. After everything you have been through over the last few days I do hope you have a chance to take things a bit easy for a day or two! Maybe you and Kerr can have a date night soon and watch a film together on your laptop?

I know the prospect of chemo on Wednesday must be daunting but the results can be nothing short of miraculous so I'm really happy that things are moving in the right direction.

RedTedBoom · 08/07/2023 18:02

Glad you have had some positive news OP - when my husband had drains they were always in for at least 3 days (just to reassure)
And sounds like they have a plan in place, stay positive, eat little & often &keep loving all those close to you 💙

AMomentOfTruth · 08/07/2023 18:05

What a wonderful update. Prayers continuing here for ongoing healing.

CatkinToadflax · 08/07/2023 18:12

DH came into the room earlier, saw I was on MN, and asked “any news on how Pamela’s getting on?” So so many people are thinking of you and your lovely family. x
