@Former-Member just checking how you are faring today with everything that you are coping with. Just keep us all posted. xx

@outlander morning sweetie. Where are you? Just let us all know you are okay please.

Thanks for asking after me @Bunniekins. You should call yourself sweetpea instead of greenpea.

My Mum has been allowed home from hospital today. All the numerous tests and scans have been performed. An endoscopy has revealed numerous very large polyps in the descending colon. And gastritis has shown up from an endoscope. Both or either would account for her dangerously low iron levels which is what she initially went to hospital for. Unfortunately they were not able to remove the polyps, which would have been the usual routine as part of the procedure. They have sent samples away for pathology, but the Doctors report says they are "likely to be malignant". He also said that if they are malignant that he would not be able to operate, and even if benign, he would be reluctant.

At least she is feeling a little stronger for the time being, 3 units of blood via transfusion, plus an iron infusion has given her a little more energy. We just need to await the pathology results now and see where we go from here.

My husband, who is undergoing immunotherapy for his Stage IV metastatic melanoma, continues to go downhill as far as side effects are concerned. Today he is terribly pale, is barely able to walk 5 steps, is sweaty and clammy. He looks like someone suffering from cancer, which until recently, he didn't. At least the new medication he was put on yesterday to try to slow up the immune response has helped the diarhhoea and nausea.

So it's a very quiet day at home for me today. Nursing duties at the fore, and air conditioning on as its a hot day here again today.

Hello to those I will call the "taking the plunge" support crew. @Former-Member @Maggie @utopia @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51. You too of course @Bunniekins.

@Former-Member You really are going through hell ... I feel for you so much. So much for one person to cope with ... how old is your mother Sherry?

Your poor husband ... I can only imagine what is going through his mind at the moment.
