Just opened a text from Kate which she wants me to pass on. She went into hospital last night following loss of bladder control, and worse pain in liver and ribs. (but she had a MacaMillan coffee do before going into hospital…girl where do you get that energy?x)) Urgent MRI but no new spinal compression…maybe nerve damage from taxol. She’s on massive dose of steroids and says she’s manic.
We were going to meet up on Monday anyway so hope to see her somewhere and will take messages.
Hope I’ve read your message correctly and spinal compression has been ruled out Jane…and thanks for letting us know…All my best wishes Kate…Belinda…x.x.
Thanks for letting us know Jane and please do pass on my love to Kate when you see her. Do I take it that she delayed going into hospital because of the MacMillan Coffee do? Sounds quite possible since it is Kate we are talking about!
Hope the MRI is done quickly and she gets the results (and some answers) very soon.
Hi Jane
Thanks for letting us know about Kate…bless her only Kate would delay going into hospital because she’d arranged a MacMillan coffee morning…where does she get her strength from??
Please send her my very best wishes too and I also hope she is able to return home soon.
Thanks for posting this about Kate, She gets over one hurdle only to be faced by another! Cant believe she did the coffee morning before going into hospital, she is one strong woman…
Kate - hope you get well soon and they can give you some answers as to why this happened… I’m also on Taxol… its got some nasty side effects… its caused to me retain water last week and i ended up in hospital with legs and feet so swollen - i couldnt walk. Some anti biotics and water tablets and 7 days later… i’m almost back to normal… i wonder if your symptoms are related except… the other way round?? worth mentioning do you think?? perhaps the taxol irritated your bladder or caused an infection??
I hope you get to meet up with Jane. Take care and speak soon
Hope u are soon on the mend and back home with your family. Sending you lots of love and cuddles and am sure you are giving them all the run around so to speak.
Thanks for letting us know Jane.
Lots of love
Dawn
