Hi fellow downhills. I hope everyone is well. Latest update, I had my MRI last Friday and my bloods were taken on the Monday just gone and I saw my consultant yesterday. The news is the tumour has spread. My chemo hasn’t worked so they are preparing a new course of treatment of chemotherapy through one intravenous dose and then oral tablets over a 10 day period then 3 weeks off before a further blood test.
However prior to that I need a blood transfusion as my platelets and HB have both decreased. The hospital have confirmed blood test next Monday at local hospital and following day blood transfusion at Cannock hospital. I am getting breathless just going up only slight gradient. If this new chemotherapy treatment does not work I have been told there are no further alternatives and have been given a timescale of 6 to 18 months. Not something anybody wants to hear.
On a positive note me and one of my brother in laws went to Bristol on a Only Fools and Horses tour. It was brilliant. We visited the street where the Batman and Robin scene was filmed and the outside of Delboy and Rodders flat (as shown in photo below).
I have a family outing to Portsmouth the end of October and am looking forward to that.
We are still sorting out my pensions feels like they are dragging their feet. I hope everyone else is OK and remaining positive.
