——————-9th July 2009
Hi I have been to Margate Hospital to talk with my Consultant and he was great. He is part of a team working hard to find a solution for me and because I’m still young (loved that bit) They are pulling all the stops out. One step at a time so that they are thorough he said. It isn’t the cancer that is making me breathless and stopping me from running around it is the fluid in the lungs. So I have to have another blood test and then a chest Xray to get me ready for the clinic of a Mrs King who will visit Canterbury Hospital on Wednesdays either this one coming or the next but he hopes this one coming. She will then make arrangements at Guys hospital London to have me in and do Keyhole surgery and use three cameras to have a good look around. Then she will seal the lining onto the lung (they use Talcum Powder would you believe) this way I will never have fluid again and what I have will be drained off anyway with a needle.. Once they have done this I will be able to move around better. They will then be free to carry on to treat the cancer but first the MRI Scans and the camera Op will tell them what I have got and they will decide to act accordingly. So it is a better picture tonight and I feel a lot better and more hopeful. So tomorrow Friday I will be at K&C hospital all day. Blood Test, Chest Xray and 3 MRI Scans what a long day
