Hey Cindi, thanks for your message. Just letting you know the back pain is an old issue, i have bulging discs, pressure on some nerves, and facet joint degeneration, all of which are the result of 40 years painting. It takes its toll on the body eventually. Unless youre superman, and im not. So, its not related to my treatment as far as i know. I think i mentioned i have scans on 21st May, then i will see my doctor soon after to discuss how its going, has it worked, will i need more treatment, all the things im anxious to know. My liver has been very painful though, but thats understandable as half of it is being killed off. Anyway, will know more soon. I had my flu jab last week, dont want to be getting sick with my immune system low. I hope yore well and going ok, i really appreciate our chats, its good to talk. Thanks for the hugs 😘  Greg  ...

Hi Cindi, its good to hear from you. Its been 3 weeks since my TACE treatment and im still feeling lousy. Im a bit over it to be honest. My back pain is relentless, i seen my GP yesterday and hes referred me to someone to help with pain management, but im not holding out much hope. Ive been taking endone twice a day but it doesnt work. so i just have to live with it. I hope youve been going ok. Take care ❤️ Greg xx ... View more

Hi Raych, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Its a terrible shock. I was diagnosed with an 11cm tumour in my liver last October. I had SIRT procedure (radiation) in Nov, which reduced its size to 7cm. I recently had a TACE procedure (chemo) three weeks ago, and will see my doctor in a months time to see if theres  any more reduction. Fingers crossed. Try not to worry too much, think of the things you still want to do in life and keep positive. I know its hard when your body feels like crap, but trust your medical team, they know what theyre doing. Take care, Greg ❤️ ... View more

Good morning Cindi,how are you? Hope your infection has cleared up and youre feeling better. Just letting you know the hospital called yesterday and im booked in for Monday 8am. Still a little bit worried about the pain in my liver, hope it will be ok. If the doctors say its ok to go ahead then i just have to trust them. Like you said, its good medicine, but im not looking forward to feeling like shit after it. Ill probably be off the planet for a few days but once i feel better ill let you know how it all went. Have a great weekend, thanks for your support. Greg 💖 🌅 ... View more

Hello my friend, thankyou sooo much for those beautiful inspiring words, you really are a saint. On the day of my work up they had two emergencies come in and they were a priority. Its all good, these things happen. Next stage is chemo (TACE), so just waiting to hear back from them regarding the date. Im actually getting a bit nervous about this one, ive been getting some sharp pain in my liver. Not all the time but often enough. Hey its great to hear youre still going to the gym, you must be happy to have that back in your life. Have you been getting out and about? I hope everything is going well for you. Take care, and many hugs back to you, Greg ❤️ ... View more

Hi Jennifer, im ok, my work up went well, as i mentioned to Cindi it was just a really long stressful day. Just been super tired and lethargic and it gets me down. I want to be active but know my life has now changed and things are differant. Waiting to hear from interventional radiology on when the chemo will be done. Should be in the next week or so. Thanks Jennifer, hope your doing well, Greg xx ... View more

Hi Cindi, thanks for the hug, i needed it. Just been feeling out of sorts lately. Last Monday when i had my work up done was a nightmare. Arrived at 7am full of optimism that i might get called in within the hour. Well after waiting for 8 hours i was at the point where i didnt care if i had the treatment or not so i decided to leave. Not even my partner could convince me to stay. I was very emotional at the time so nothing was making me turn around and go back. That was until my doctor and liver nurse chased me down outside the hospital. Basically told me that if i dont have the treatment things will not end well for me. So back i went and around 5.30 i finally went in and was home around 9pm. To make things worse the injection site on the back of my hand blew up like a golfball and started bleeding. It was a rough day Cindi. Thanks for your kind words, they mean a lot xx ... View more
