Shabby.........please dont be poorly, we cannot do without you xxx Sorry I have not had a single minute to get on here, was hoping for a little tray of nibbles or nuts and large glass of vino as I am worn out...........just had a fried egg sandwich and a cup of tea, first since mid day! I went over to see H this afternoon, though he phoned me for 15 mins this morning! He is still in ITU as, guess what they cannot find him a bed in the surgical ward!! They are very pleased with him, but as yet have not had him out of bed, this is because he has an epidural in his back for pain relief and he cant feel his legs! He looked so well, amazing and if he didnt have al the lines and bits in him you would never know, and he was in good spirit. The consultant he performed the surgery had a talk with him this morning. He said the reason the op took far longer than expected was he had trouble getting into the site, he said Harry has a small pelvis!! They also had to go in higher, but have removed the tumour and been able to rejoin the bowel, but also decided to put in a temp stoma from the small intestine to give the join the chance to heal without risk of infection. So all that went well. The only bit of worrying news that has really worried me and of course H is he told him that whilst they were looking they had a good look at the liver. There are three lesions as he said, but it seems that two are small, and one is a lump the size of a walnut, did not want to hear that. He has said that the treatment plan should still be the same, chemo after this, surgery to the liver around Oct and 3 months further chemo. He said hopefuly that will be the end of the road and he should be ok. Harry said "you mean cured", he said, "no, not cured but treated, we talk in terms of this being treatable, there is a difference". So.....I wont be able to take the kids over until he is out of ITU, and has some of the lines etc taken away, they have been soooooooooooo naughty tonight, but I have sepnt no time with them really since Mon and this phone will want grafting off my ear, it rang until midnight last night and until 10pm tonight! I will go over tomorrow and keep you posted, but a big big thank you for all your love xxxx
