Post 83: January 21st

21st January

I wake this morning hoping that the side effects are now abating..but my nose bleeds as it has every day for months, my fingers are still splitting and a small cut in my thumb which appeared spontaneously, refuses to heal. I worry as to how well I can recover from major surgery in this state. I can only hope that things will improve before February!
I have an email today from Jo (the Colorectal Nurse Specialist)

I've just heard from Southampton following their multidisciplinary meeting when they reviewed your scans. They have decided to send you for emobolisation and then resection of your liver. I understand they are going to send you an appointment next week with Professor P to discuss this.

Jo isn’t certain what an ‘embolisation’ is (not sure if she spelt it correctly). I will hopefully find out more in due course.
I am relieved that they have decided to operate. I still want to know if the tumours have shrunk, but she wasn't sure.
I also receive a letter informing me that my pay is going down to half.

Now I feel in need of a laugh.
When Daniel was playing around with Photoshop on one of his visits a while back, he thought it would be a great idea to give me a beard, give Chris my hair and make him beardless! I have an uncanny resemblance to my brother Gerald. You can draw your own conclusions!

Is this me?




or him??Nice hair!!
