Hi Donnie,

Great to hear from you! Thanks for the update on everything and Fleetwood Mac tickets, nice! I know that you will enjoy that and it is something to look forward to as well.

So tumour is stable then, glad to hear that Donnie. Keeping it in jail, lol, love that idea! No breaking out of Barlinnie allowed and solitary confinement for the tumour please!

I hear what you say about the bag and can understand your initial reaction to it, totally understandable. But like Lainy says, you can have a life with it as well and I hope that the issues with it start settling down pretty quickly. My mum was the same when she went on home oxygen 16 hours a day, was so not into the idea of that at all but she got used to it pretty quickly once she realised that it was benefiting her with her quality of life etc.

Don’t give up on the idea either Donnie of the bili levels coming down in time. They take time to go up and will take time to drop again and none of us knows what lies around the corner do we. Great to hear from you Donnie and looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

My best to you and Lorraine,

Gavin

Hi Michelle,

I’m pretty certain as well that here in the UK someone who is going through treatments of whatever type, chemo, radiation etc will have bloods taken quite a lot throughout that treatment. My dad had blood taken quite a bit before his PDT treatment but he did not do chemo so can’t share anything specific as to that and bloods etc. But I am sure that if your sister was to start a treatmnet, SIRT etc then they would be doing bloods before and after.

And just let me say that you are so doing the right thing here in seeking as many answers and info as possible for your sister and I know how much that she will appreciate all of that. Never be afraid to ask questions Michelle!

My best to you and your sister,

Gavin

Lee,

Sorry to hear this news about your husband. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for your husband and hope that he continues to improve with the treatment. Please keep us updated on everything.

Hugs,

Gavin

Hi Michelle,

This is excellent news about your sister, thanks so much for sharing this with us all! Your sister did indeed respond well to the chemo and news such as this will give hope to so many people as well, thank you for this.

Glad to hear as well that SIRT has not been ruled out as a future treatment option for your sister should she need it but right now I would be focusing on the present great news that you all got. My fingers are crossed for the good news to continue with the MRI in August and yes, everyone is indeed unique and the stats are just that, numbers!

Hugs,

Gavin

Hi Elaine,

Brilliant news, well chuffed for you! Glad to hear as well that you are back home now and recovering well as you say, fingers crossed for that to continue and let us know how that goes. I am sure that others who have had surgery followed up with chemo will chime in with what chemo’s etc that they had.

My best to you,

Gavin
