Dippykate update 20th July

I’ve had a text from Kate which she has asked me to post:

" Spoken to my registrar. She will push liver bods tomorrow first thing, problem is my bilirubin is low compared with other liver patients. Registar is pushing hard as my cancer grows faster and need chemo PDQ. Cant have chemo until bilirubin and liver function tests more normal. very scared - feel on dump pile by the liver team. Oncologists registar told me I’m not and they are pushing seriousness of my situation despite low bilirubin levels in liver disease terms."

Know we’re all thinking of Kate and wanting to get those medics moving.

Send her my love and tell her I am thinking about her.

I was wondering earlier how Kate was doing as she hasn’t posted on either site since last week. I’m so glad you’ve updated us. My thoughts are with her. I hope this awful situation with the liver people is sorted out asap. It must be dreadful for her to be kept hanging on like this.

Please give her my love
Sue

If you go to google and google dippykates blog. It is called “Fighing the Invader” I am not sure if you have found it yet.

I didn’t PM it lizz, just incase anyone else would like to read it as its very moving.

I’e been away for a few days and have only just now spoken to Kate.

She had her operation yesterday under supposed sedation…but it didn’t work and the procedure was really really horrible and painful for Kate. But the stent is in without the need for an outside bag. Her care since the operation sounds dreadful. She’s in quite a lot of pain and has awful trapped wind.

I’ve passed on all your messages and I know it really helps Kate to know you are all here in cyber space.

Jane

Poor Kate. Thanks for the update, Jane. I have visited Kate at the hospice and at the general.Send her my regards.She really is going through it at the moment.

Hope you feel better soon, Kate.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
