Pamela thread 6 - Bile Duct Cancer, Continued

[WilsonMilson]

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

Thank you for taking the time to update. I have checked several times a day in the hope of an update because Pamela and al of you are very much in my thoughts and my heart. I hope she's well enough for the next chemo soon and that the jaundice starts to abate. It must be so hard for you to see. Thinking of you all. Ann.

I've been looking each day hoping to hear from you both, thanks Kerr for updating us. Sending you both and your wider family thoughts and prayers x

You all have not left my thoughts. Sending prayers

Thank you for posting, Kerr, and I'm glad Pamela is not trying to do it herself.

Hope she is as restful as can be and fingers very much crossed for round 2 going ahead, and some relief from the jaundice xx

Thankyou so much for posting Kerr, have been thinking of you all and checking to see if there was news, hope that Pamela can have the chemo and the jaundice lessens 💞

Dear Kerr,
I will be praying for you morning, noon and night, as will our prayer group at church. Keep strong.

Kerr, thank you so much for the update, I cannot imagine what you’re all going through and I’m constantly thinking of Pamela. I hope and pray that she will be able to have her next round of chemo and start to improve. Faith, Hope and Love.

Sending lots of love and strength. Hoping that she gets that next round or chemo xxx

Thank you for the update. Sending you both love and prayers.

I have not responded before, but have been reading this thread. I feel like I know you and want to let you know that I admire your strength and determination to battle this awful disease. You have a global band of friends you have never met, who are silently willing you to be pain free and for the chemo to destroy the cancer. I am not a religious person but I say a prayer every day for you, Kerr and Jacob.
Thank you Kerr for the update. It was much appreciated.

Thank you for your update, Kerr.
I think of you, Pamela and Jacob every day
I hope the meeting tomorrow brings some clarity to the confusion
I can imagine her Jaundice is actually quite upsetting for you as it's the one symptom which is literally staring you in the face
Much love to you and your Pamela

Thinking of you and your family every day, hoping Pamela is as comfortable and that the next chemo can go ahead

Thank you so much Kerr for taking the time to update us. Pamela has taught us all a powerful lesson as women, to advocate for ourselves and our health. To push for a second opinion if necessary. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers x

Sending love and best wishes from Northern Ireland where I'm currently on a visit. Actually in (wet!) Belfast today so especially thinking of you all.
