Found this thread late
Chantal & Lee,

I found this thread after posting in Lee's thread about getting a room. I can't imagine how scary yesterday was for you Chantal! I wish there were something I could do for you to ease your worry, your pain, your fears, just even to give you both a hug.

I know that the two of you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. We will make our prayers extra loud while Lee is in hospital. I sure hope they find a different reason for his pain and not what you fear.

We are here for you both. Love & Hugs!

Terry

Lee & Chantel
Iam sorry to hear of your pain and frustration. Keeping you two in my thoughts and prayers. Also, hoping Lee gets the pain meds needed to make him comfortable.


Love
Jackie

thank you
Thank you everyone, as usual your words are great comfort to us both.

I was shocked at the fainting thing, but I went into the meeting sweating hard and feeling horrible, barely had the energy to walk across the cancer centre. I guess I should be thankful that it didn't happen in the parking lot, or while I was walking down a flight of stairs.

In Canada, a lot of doctors are moving to the US because of the way OHIP (our medical billing system) pays doctors, hence shortages of docs and beds like this one. We have found the system overall excellent, and this is the first delay we've come across in my treatment.

This is all messed up; instead of feeling a little better after tweaking meds etc., I seem to be feeling worse each week. I literally cannot walk across a room without sitting down to rest. Im not hedging my bets on my thyroid working miracles, but hopefully the fact that the thyroid regulates so much in the body that it will give me strength and energy and a healthier "base" upon which all these other things can function.

currently at 50 mcg fentanyl, working ok except for liver pain. 2 breakthroughs tonight so far. Im needing breakthrough 3-4 times a day so the patch isnt obviously quite enough on its own.

on top of all this, im scheduled for stent installation next friday and time is of the essence as the surgeon found great tightness in my tumours when she performed the dilation 2 weeks ago. If the stent doesnt go well, not much of this other stuff matters...

playing catch up
Is there an update?? Please? I hope you're feeling better.
