In other news, if you're gonna be ill, Derriford us a pretty good one to be in, the views over Dartmoor from the ward day room are absolutely stunning, if you can forget why you are there, it's almost like a hotel.

re the time scale, I likened it yesterday to the life of a guard on a vogon ship, the hours are pretty good but most of the actual minutes are pretty lousy. To date, the process has been really quick (tomorrow will be the 5th week since she 1st made a GP appt, so 5 weeks is, IMO, pretty damn quick to get where we are) but the waiting for individual tests just seems to drag on.

The rough patches in life are when people show their true colours, since I got made homeless I honestly got more help here than people I know in the "real world" Keeping yourself occupied will make it easier to bare when you are apart

Hope you are both back up and running on all cylinders soon!

Just got back from attending a multi disciplinary consultation. Turns out the tumour on mrs f's small intestine is a recurrence of the ovarian cancer she had 12 years ago, so this has now become a gynae issue, but the gastro intestinal team are still involved as they will be doing the treatment.
Seems the only solution is surgery, but because of the size and location of the tumour the surgery is risky and carries a not insignificant chance of complications, both during surgery and post surgical. There's is also a chance that when they open her up they realise that there's nothing they can do. The tumour itself is pressing on the vena cava, and eventually it will compress it completely, this will lead to death. The consultant said it would not be a pleasant death, however he couldn't place a timeline on it, could be 10 years, could 1 month. Normally, they would medically reduce the size of the tumour, however the type of cancer she had/has does not respond to chemo-therapy, so there is no way to medically treat this. It also seems now that the cancer has spread to a lymph node/gland (not sure what they said, nymph something anyways).
Normally when you talk to medical types, they are very confident, but the consultant was a great pains to point out how complex and possibly risky the operation is, so it's clearly very serious. In fact we knew it was serious when they went round the room and all the medico's involved were heads of department.
So yeah, today sucks a bit.
