well me and bro lost in the first match today but we played ok. he was dead tired at the end i dont really think he would have been up to another game had we won. it was nice having a game and the sun shined a little and it gave me chanc to catch up with bro on how the visit he had yesterday at Christies with the bowel consultant.
Bro told me that the bowel consultant was pleased that the tumour had shrunk a little with the chemotherapy treatment. He thought there were 3 options open to bro. Option one was just to leave it as it was because the liver tumours were so numerous that the bowel tumour was less worrying. option 2 was to place a stent in bros bowel and hopefully this would help in with his severe costipation. option 3 was to fit a tube which would divert things into a bag, as the option of removing bowel and tumour were not really an option.
He went on to add that the cancer cells were already travelling through bros blood supply and would have carefully attached themselves in various places and the chemotherapy treatment was keeping them at bay at the moment.
End result was to look at all options when chemotherapy was finished in a few weeks.
