We had a really good night with the Croughton Boys on the Friday, and then had Linda and Dave round on the Saturday....in hindsight perhaps a little much for my current condition.
When I woke up on Sunday it felt like most of my bodily systems had shutdown, well except for the ones the manage vomitting, pain and discomfort!
Didn't manage to really eat or drink anything from Sunday morning until Friday. It was a constant cycle of drink a few sips, cough and vomitt everything up.
Spoke to the Oncologist on Tuesday and went to hospital to see him on the Wednesday. We decided I needed an immediate Stent insertion so I had a CT scan on Wednesday and stayed in the hospital overnight on IV fluids to re-hydrate.
We travelled to the large NHS hospital in Derbty early Thursday morning where the stent was inserted via on Endoscrope (one of the keenest tourture prodecures know to man).
The stent blocked up a flap that had developed with the tumour that was where the food was going and was immediately successfull in improving my ability to swallow. However it did not stop the sickness and it was only yesterday after taking anti-sickness meds that things have really started to improve.
I have to say this has been one of the worst weeks of my enitre life and I would hate to go through it again. Julia has been an absolute star and taken care of me at my worst and grumpiest!
