Hi all

It’s Kerr here, I wanted to post a quick update as I’m conscious Pamela hasn’t been on for a few days and the thread seems to have reached its limit.

Pamela hasn’t been feeling so good over the last few days - on a positive note, her bloods seem to have stabilised and, all being well, she might be ok for chemo round 2 in the next couple of days. She had a blood transfusion yesterday which, we hope, will also boost her energy levels. On the downside, her jaundice has returned, the bilirubin levels are increasing significantly. The CT scan at the beginning of the week showed no new blockages and our Consultant thought that some early necrosis of the tumour after the last chemo might be contributing, but nobody really knows what’s causing it. Further discussion to take place tomorrow. Seeing the jaundice is one of the worst parts of this, it’s so clear and obvious when it’s happening yet there’s nothing we can do to alleviate it.

Just wanted to let you know the latest. Please, please keep praying for her - she’s my everything, my world, and every thought and prayer is deeply appreciated.

Kerr

Still thinking of you and the whole family Pamela. I'd been checking for updates, I'm sorry you're having a tough time of it again. Keeping fingers crossed the treatment gets you through this too.

All the best to Pamela. I just saw the original post in GeneralHealth and was shocked to read the outcome (always look at gut related posts as mine are a mess - but have been checked and diagnosed/treated).

MadeInChorley · 25/07/2023 07:43

Good morning Pamela, Kerr and Jacob. Thinking of you all and wishing you strength from Perthshire. Photo from the path up the Birks.
