There is no spinal cord compression. So, plan of action is radiotherapy to help with pain. Possibly today or tomorrow.

Sally – A Quick Update
This is a belated post to ensure that the blog has a complete record of events. This was posted originally as a page and not a post so I have added it retrospectively. Just back from the hospital. Sal is OK and exhausted and still hallucinating from the dexamethasone. This will be the case for … Continue reading Sally – A Quick Update
Crickey! I Don’t Know Where to Start
What a couple of days. Firstly, I apologise for the late post. I said I would post Friday but as you will see… events rather over took me. After spending a night in the MAU Sal was transferred to Brent Ward. This was good news a this is the cancer ward and it is much … Continue reading Crickey! I Don’t Know Where to Start
Sal Back in Derriford Hospital
Well, given the past few days of continued breathing issues and her worsening lower back pain she was this afternoon transferred to Derriford. They have xrayed her chest already and taken blood for tests. Tomorrow she will have a ultrasound on her lungs and her tummy (they are looking for fluid for both), an doppler … Continue reading Sal Back in Derriford Hospital
Sally’s Breathing is Getting Worse
I am just back from the hospice after being there all day. I feel exhausted. Until Sal improves she is not well enough to receive visitors Sally’s breathing over the past few days has been getting worse. It is now so bad that she can barely get out of bed at all and even lying motionless in … Continue reading Sally’s Breathing is Getting Worse
The EU – In or Out?
I haven’t said much on my position on the EU as I have been reading and trying to get to grips with the arguments… not the rhetoric… and it is difficult. I see both huge benefits and huge disadvantages on both sides and like all decisions that actually matter it is a balance It is … Continue reading The EU – In or Out?
Power to the Garage
We have been in our new house now for about 5 months ( well, I suppose I should stop calling it new!) and during that time I have had only limited power to the garage from the house. This has meant that it wasn’t possible to install a 32A electric car charger until I upgraded … Continue reading Power to the Garage
A Day of Two Halves
Today was a mix of the very good and the very bad… This morning Sally had the most dreadful head pain and was very breathless. This afternoon and evening this all changed when both head and breathing improved significantly and were the best they have been for a while now. She felt so good that she … Continue reading A Day of Two Halves
OK… this is the plan
We had a long chat with the docs today. They still have no solid evidence that Sally’s breathing issues are anything in particular so we have requested that we go out on a bit of a limb and we reduce one of Sally’s drugs to see if it is a drug issue. This isn’t completely … Continue reading OK… this is the plan
Weak Legs & Lovely Flowers
Sally’s cough is getting a bit better but the breathlessness is not. She on on oxygen all the time at the moment. Until now she had been able to walk, although not very far, but now her right leg is occasionally not able to support her at all. This is almost certainly because her coughing … Continue reading Weak Legs & Lovely Flowers
