We left late this morning to pick the best time to avoid the traffic and make the journey relatively straightforward.
It was great to see the family, especially my dad after a prolonged absence.
Getting myself out of my house was a therapeutic exercise in itself though not the most comfortable.
Putting things in perspective, I can get myself from A to B with Kitten driving but overall my energy levels are very low. This is because of low food intake, which is due to the cancer itself. The cancer is reducing my appetite. I discussed this with the MacMillan nurse on Friday. The bottom line is that in the absence of any scans now we do not know whether the cancer is just restricted to the oesophagus and liver. As it progresses through my other organs it will continue to suppress my appetite and reduce my energy.
Nevertheless, the journey to Wales was uplifting and now I must see if I am able for the journey to Suffolk later this week.
So glad you and yours made it home to Wales, even though it was only a short visit. Computers are not my forte so that's why you haven't heard from me until now. Will speak to you later. God bless. Gwyn 'the voice' and Marion x x x
ReplyDeleteBravo Rumps you made it! I had a sneaking suspicion that even if you had to move heaven and earth you would.
ReplyDeleteGot everything crossed for your trip to Suffolk
Best wishes

Good to read that you guys made it to Wales and back. I'm sure your Dad really appreciated that Rumps.
ReplyDeleteOn what basis can you get more calories in, even if you don't have an appetite ... that might help with getting to Suffolk and beyond.
Just a thought ....

I am so delighted that you made your journney to Wales.
ReplyDeleteDo you think a course of steroids could help give you a boost? Just a thought.
Hope you sleep well and have a good day tomorrow
