Living with Bowel Cancer by John Naisbit

We left Australia after only 18 months our dream had come to an abrupt end. I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. After a lengthy operation, convalescence and a three month tour of Oz I returned to the UK. The cancer later spread to my lungs. The removal of tumours from both lungs and six months of Chemotherapy did not prevent it from returning to my left lung. After lengthy operations and medication, I now live in a cycle of CT and MRI Scans........ I now know what the waiting game is.......

I did not sleep well at all last night. The tube for the Flourouracil Folfuser is not really long enough, so it ended up under my pillow This picture is showing the Folfusor in place for 48 hours

Folfusor 4800mg in 110ml Sodium Chloride

48hr infuse 2.5ml /hour

This morning I have taken anti sickness Ondansetron and Dexamethasone Steriods (previously explained) still with the niggling headache. I was originally told that I would get pins & needles sensations in hand and feet................ Wow !!! and how; when I touch anything cold. Washing hands in cold water is a big problem and simply picking up a bottle of milk........ Hands suddenly turn freezing and Pins and Needles immediately. Hope has left messages on the basins and fridge "Hot Water Only Daddy" as I have forgotton a few times.

True daddy very true. I even used my letter magnets on the fridge to say hot only daddy!
