Pamela thread 6 - Bile Duct Cancer, Continued

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'm so very sorry, Kerr.

I haven't seen the fake thread and can only assume it has been, rightly, deleted.

Don't give that another thought; there is always one. I didn't see it but im quite sure anybody that did would know it was fake.

What a fighter your lovely wife was.

Much love you and Jacob xxx

VouisLuitton · 03/08/2023 12:53

Sending you lots of love at this incredibly sad and difficult time.

Elliejane · 03/08/2023 13:08

Thinking of you all. Really sorry to hear about Pamela . I also know Pamela personally and have many lovely memories of her when she did my nails when she lived in Scotland . She was a very special person and touched me a lot . I did not understand that post today as I heard she had sadly passed on Tuesday so was really confused about that post . Vile person and complete opposite of Pamela . Life is so unfair and unjust at times .

thinking of you all and cherish the memories .
