Mr F goes into hospital 'for a week' on Monday, while they try him on Exciting New Drug. If he takes to it, it'll then be monthly treatments.
I am mostly OK. Principal irritant is the dressing, but stuck with that for another fortnight. Almost finished course of antibiotics, which I will be glad of, as I feel they are slightly at war with all my other meds.
Hope the new drug and Mr F get on well. In the meantime glad you are nearly at the end of the antibiotics and here's to being able to rip off, or maybe gently remove the dressing @Firenze. Hope the gin supplies are holding out.
My brother-in-law died of cancer on 29 Jan, three days after his 83rd birthday and before we could fly out to England to be with my sister and him. He had been diagnosed with cancer a month before. Secondaries had been found, but the primary never was. My sister told me that one day he woke up and said "Why am I still alive?"
We found out that this is a busy time for funeral in the UK so it won't be held until mid-March. Both the Funeral Director and the crematorium are booked up before then.
And our neighbour, whose youngest is five, is heading for a double mastectomy soon; and what is more worrying is that she has cancer in her pancreas.
Not good. Despite the surgeries I still have cancer, so onwards to the months of chemo and radiotherapy. Tests, vaccinations, getting fitted for a wig.
Hard news @Firenze
Cheering you on from here, especially that you find the best possible support for you personally, the people and things that give you life.

I just do not know what we would do without the NHS. Die, I expect.
And sorry to see your news LatchKeykid. We've lost two friends to pancreatic cancer- it's a right bastard.
@Firenze I'm just glad you do have NHS and hope the treatment goes well.
Heigh ho.

I'm grateful that you have the NHS.
