During my various recent blood tests and meetings with doctors it has become apparent that yet another issue I have is a raised blood calcium level - without treatment this leads to confusion, unconsciousness and coma (might have been hard to spot over Christmas!!). Naturally we are doing our best to find out the cause and treat.
However whilst researching the effects and treatment for high calcuim I have come to realise that all of the symptoms affecting me at the moment are pretty par for the course for end-stage terminal cancer patients - some more than others but nothing too out of the ordinary. I actually feel pretty fortunate at the moment; my pain is under pretty good control; eating is not bad; I am able to remain at home rather than hospital/hospice. This still allows me to enjoy the remaining time I have with reasonable physical condition (until the next big thing!!). The flip side of this is the emotional side of the process is highly elevated at the moment.
