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

Oh bless all three of you. The fact that there's an army of mumsnetters holding you all in their thoughts every day shows how special Pamela is, although we've obviously seen only a fraction of what you know. We are all hoping so hard for her to turn a corner. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers x

Another new poster here - I've followed all the other threads. Wishing you and your family all the best, and that the treatment improves things for you. X

Thank you for letting us know how things are with Pamela. I hope there is some more clarity in the coming days and that chemo can continue. Thinking of you all. X

Thank you so much for updating Kerr as there are many, many people on MN who are willing for the best for Pamela, you and Jacob and of course her mum and nan etc.
I hope that Pamela will be buoyed by the fact that we're all still behind you all.
Take care

Another one to say thank you so much for updating and I really hope Pamela can continue to draw strength from these threads. Thinking of you all.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to start a new thread and update us Kerr. Pamela is in my thoughts and prayers every day and along with everyone else, I am rooting for you all so so hard.

I'm glad she has you. You sound wonderful - no less than she deserves.

Everything crossed that the Jaundice starts to abate and that Chemo can go ahead.

Thank you for the update. Sending love and positive vibes to Pamela and your family x

Love to Pamela, thank you so much for the update Kerr. Thinking of you all.x

Thanks for the update Kerr. Pamela (and you/jacob) have been in my thoughts the last few weeks and I am keeping positive thinking for her.

Take care, sleep and rest as much as you can. She needs you strong.

Thank you so much Kerr for letting us know, I'm sure you have enough on your plate without worrying about updating a bunch of mumsnetters but it is truly appreciated. Pamela has been a constant thought for me, and she is also constantly in my prayers. Unfortunately I have experience of watching loved ones fighting cancer, so I know how exhausted and worried you and your family are about her. Thinking and praying for you all and wishing Pamela the very best in the next few days.❤

Kerr I'm so happy to see your update. Thinking of Pamela and your family every single day

You are all in my thoughts and prayers everyday, god bless you all

Thanks for the update Kerr. I have been checking every day.
Holding you all in my thoughts

Thank you so much Kerr for taking the time to update us. Another one here who has been thinking of you all, and following Pamela's progress from the outset. (Also another Pamela).
I'll go and light another candle now. Hopefully the sheer strength of will power from all of us who care will keep Pamela going. Love and strength to you all.

Thanks for the update Kerr, live and prayers to you all
