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

Dear Pamela, I lit a candle for you in Salisbury Cathedral this week. You, Kerr and Jacob are held up in prayer every day. With much love, Laura (and Teddy the dog!) xx

lucylulululu · 31/07/2023 08:40

Good morning to you both, you are never far from my thoughts. I have posted a little less lately as I don't want to take up too much space since I know hundreds want to share their messages of hope and well wishes! I know you both are likely busy focusing on Pamela's fight and recovery so I know updating the thread/making new threads will be the absolute last thing on your minds. Hoping you're all okay, and sending love and positive vibes xx 💐

SquirrelSoShiny · 31/07/2023 08:58

Good morning Pamela x

sayitkindly · 31/07/2023 09:16

Good morning Pamela and Kerr, we're still here sending you love and positive energies and I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. as a pp said I also am refraining from posting every day, but you all remain in my thoughts. Hoping you are comfortable with your family and friends close to you xx

loulouljh · 31/07/2023 09:20

My thoughts often come to you both....I hope that you are managing Pamela to make some progress. I am guessing it may be time for another chemo.....I hope it it doing what it is supposed to do. x

I keep returning to see how you are doing @WilsonMilson and you remain in my thoughts. Sending a photo of beautiful lilies which have flowered this week. It’s very poignant as a very close and dear relative bought these for me as a gift as is currently in hospital waiting for a treatment plan for her cancer diagnosis a few days ago. Sending strength to you and all those facing this wretched disease 💐

Hi Pamela, I’m looking every day to see if there has been any updates from you or Kerr and concerned that there has been no messages. I really hope that you are still fighting this dreadful illness and that you are more comfortable with regards to your pain. Hoping for some good news from you or Kerr.

My thoughts and love go to you and your lovely family. x

FernFae · 31/07/2023 16:28

Sending love and hugs to you Pam and to you all 💕 💕 💐💐💐

Another one really hoping you’re comfortable and not in pain. Thinking of you as others are.
