Consultation

Hi fellow downhills. Well what can I say. I had my consultation yesterday and my journey on the great slalom ended up off piste.

He asked me how I felt and you know something is not right when despite their attempt at humour is masking something. To cut a long story short Brian has come back. A kick in the nads true. Basically he is now inoperable as instead of being a solid planet it was morphed into one of Saturn’s rings. The Dr says he has spoken to the consultants at QEHB and the risk of removing it is far greater than doing nothing. So I am starting chemotherapy treatment in the next few weeks.

The worry is the chemo can affect my platelets so will be having blood tests regularly. So appears the reason my Dr didn’t tell me over the phone was because they wanted to do it face to face.

Consultant also mentioned my cholesterol was a little high so needed to watch myself. Bloody C’s peeing me off. Covid, Cholesterol and Cancer. So no processed foods, no alcohol, no life really. I don’t think so whats it going to do kill me. 😕 as they say “there are many reasons for drinking and one has just entered my head, if a person can’t drink when they’re living, how the hell can they drink when they’re dead”.

I did ask about getting my driving licence back, as I had to surrender it due to seizure and brain tumour a shake of consultants head put that to bed. Was upset by that more than the diagnosis.

We are not in crisis land yet, as Dr has said if the chemo fails to step up, they have other weapons in their arsenal. Obviously surgery not one of them.

That is my rant over so good luck to you all.
