Thanks for that info Deb. Yes we have probiotics and yoghurt on the go. I will look up Avastin now. I’m often afraid to look too far on this site – so much to learn but not sure if I want to!!
Eddie has just had a scan to look at liver to see in antibx are working. Got to phone on Monday. Must push for the ascites o be drained then push for more blood as his haemaglobin is down to 8 – it is a full time job. Thanks for help so far.
I would like to know that too Deb.
Was the draining painful and do docs give you anything to stop the fluid build up again? How much did they take out? My husband has liver abscess and ongoing infection – hard times!Thanks fro your kind welcome – never get on here very much as i’ve been spending so much time on the road to the hospital. Gaving – is Mr Tait your dad’s consultant?
My husband has not been able to get to the chemo stage for months. He was on Capcetabine tablets which didn’t do much but he is fighting a blood infection. Everytime we got so far on the chemo the infection was back – high temps and rigours… it seems to ‘eat up’ antibiotics.
He was due to start on gemcetabine but for the passed 9 weeks he has been on 3/4 different antibiotics, then another stent needed in his liver, a stent in his bowel (cos the tumour was closing that) and mets on a bone in his lower back. He’s not had a scan since february so goodness knows what is going on. maybe we should be asking for one but not sure if we want to know at the moment!
Trying to get him to eat is such hard work. Any ideas to counter the effects of the antibiotics?

My husband is also in the dundee area and is being treated through NInewells HOspital. Eddie has Gallbladder cancer, diagnosed in august 2008. I could write a book about the past 8months. Anyway wanted to say that jaundice and dark urine – he has a stent, well lots of stents but that is another long story – usually means an infection clogging the stent. we have never had to wait for treatment with this. YOu must shout!! Shout loud and get your dad into the hospital. Don’t wait till May 26th or whenever the appointment is.
