To all my lovely Facebook friends, I thought it best to update you on my situation. Since Xmas I have had chemotherapy, a major operation, biopsies galore all in the name of fighting this cancer. Unfortunately the chemo didnt work so I have been left with bowel cancer in my kidneys, liver, stomach, lymph nodes, some still in my bowel and more recently in my shoulder bone which means my arm is in mega pain all the time. The extreme fatigue is the worst thing. The pain was why I was in Forest Holme. Its difficult to text or message now because I twitch a lot & keep dropping the phone!! I wait til Nikki! Ben or Tim was do it if I dictate to them. I know you all know that I fought all I could but sadly the fight is over and thats why Im being looked after by the palliative Care Team who are all wonderful. Their aim is to make the rest of my life as comfortable as possible. I was offered some more chemo but for the sake of potentially lasting 2 months longer probably throwing up & having a terrible time, even tho it might not even work , so its not worth it. when I post photos on FB I always chose the ones that make me look bright & healthy but the truth is that im managing the pain with quite a few tablets & if I had the choice I would saw my blooming arm off lol I have hot sweats! dry mouth! ticks and twitches! runny nose when I eat! I cant walk far at all now so I have to use a wheelchair. I may not have won the fight against cancer but I WILL win the choice of how I live the rest of my life I.e. Going off to Torquay & doing what I want to do. According to the docs I have about 5 months to live which is pretty scary but we re going to have a most amazing Xmas and many more things in between. I have a lot of planning & sorting to do which is a pain ☺️ I have a simple bucket list so Ill tell you when Ive done something from it! So thats where we are now & I wanted you all to know. Xxxxxxx
