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

I am so hoping that the lack of any updates means that you are fighting hard and you and Kerr just do not have the energy. You are not at all obligated to keep us up to date, but just know that all over the world you have a huge amount of mumsnetters at your back! Tonight I have the house to myself as my husband is going out with a friend, so instead of watching tv, I plan on lighting a little candle and sitting on my balcony watching the palm trees blow, and praying that someday soon Pamela is well enough to do the same (palm trees or just trees.. no matter!) Strength and Love.. Lynn
