Thank you Felix.
Cancer Council has been very good and I have a couple of free hand and foot massages still available to me.. Have had one already and that was very relaxing.

CA19-9 now 14000. No decrease at all during chemo. Husband has decided to cease chemo as the last 3 weeks have not been kind. Extreme fatigue, abdominal pain and DVT pain in right calf. Not sleeping very well at all. One benefit - farting has decreased dramatically!! Handing it all over to our Creator and Lord, Jesus Christ. 🙂 Hopefully the effects of chemo will go (if it is the effects of chemo being observed) and there might be some improvement in the short term.

Hi Joybell,
Just dropping in. I am a 7 year survivor of bowel cancer but still remember the chemo farts!! As does my family!
I used to use a saline solution for my mouth wash and it worked well. Just sloshed it around.
How lucky your husband is to have him caring for you. It can be very hard watching.
I only survived with 'nanna naps' when the fatigue kicked in.
Good luck!!! (With the farting!!)

No Whipple procedure carried out as cancer has spread to peritoneal area and outer lining of stomach. Palliative hepatojejunostomy created and Gastrojejunostomy fashioned... Discharge letter!
Now has a wound infection but has been discharged and we are heading home to Busselton for a family Christmas :)
Treasuring every day.

Hi Maggie,
Sorry to hear about your loss. That deeply saddens me.
My treatment finished last October. I just had my latest Colostomy with the all clear. Its been a year since my operation to remove the tumor so I am hope clear sailing from here.
However the threat and fear of it returning is always there. I guess even if I remain free of cancer I actually still live with cancer.
I have gotten my business back on track and my babies are doing great. Both are coming up to 1st and 2nd birthday May.
All is pretty good at the moment so fingers crossed.
Regards,
Craig.
