hello everyone

Peter saw the hernia consultant yesterday and surgery is booked for this Thursday. Peter was in the most undescribable pain yesterday and when he saw the consultant who proceeded to examine him, he was screaming in agony. The doc was very good but said he had to do this to find out what seemed to be wrong. Immediatly he telephoned his secretary to get Peter onto his next surgery list. Booked in, bloods and swabys done all withing 20 mins. Doc was very concerned about the amount of pain peter has, its rather unusual for a hernia!!!!
Keyhole surgery with full aneasthetic unless they find that they have to do open surgery.
Roll on Thursday it cant come soon enough

Hello everyone

Finally the deed is done and Peter has had surgery for the hernia and also slight damage to the bowel has been repaired. He has been pumped full of antibiotics and painkillers. The surgeon was pleased with Peter and allowed him to come home the next day. He is feeling rather sore and very bruised. Rest and recuperation is now the order of the day and following weeks and he will be well to meet the twin boys when they make their first long journey home to England to meet granddad on Aug 9yj.
We expect cycle 6 of Velcade plus dex to sart again on 2nd Aug.

Love Trish xx

Hi Trish

Good to know Peter has had op,

Velcade takes up time but Slim found less side effects,as you have family coming over from abroad can you not delay treatment for a week,usually they start you on a few Dex days,that will help in the energy department,and give Peter some quality time with his grandsons.

We all want treatment to start ,but some times I think it's worth getting off the round about and recharging batteries,will give him quality time,plus time to build up,ready for the next roller coaster ride,with or without pit stops.:-)

Might be worth asking,love Eve

Ps sorry I missed it was cycle 6,brain addled these days.
