Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

anjelikaferrett said:
Hi folks. I'm in Nottingham. The itching has returned and Chris is really struggling both physically and mentally. His wife messaged me and asked if one or both of us could come because she thought it might cheer him up. He's got an emergency appointment at the hospital tomorrow to see if there is anything more they can offer him. He's due to see his oncologist on Wednesday. There could be some hard conversations about the immunotherapy- do they carry on, change it, pause it for a while to get the side effects under control. We'll just have to wait and see. Whoever said you are only as happy as your unhappiest child has got it absolutely right!
Sorry to hear you had a tough day @Armaghtoffee . I hope you are feeling better. You are also right - some people have very difficult lives. I count my blessings on a daily basis.
Enjoy your evening everyone x

So sorry to read this Anj, I hope a good solution can be found at his appointment and I will be thinking of you all. Such a horrible thing to have to go through 💙

Hi everybody. I dropped Chris and Sophie off at the hospital at 11.30 this morning for an emergency appointment. They are still there. They do not want to mess with the steroids because he is already on a highish dose but they wanted him to see someone in dermatology to ask about upping the antihistamines. That's what the wait is. He's just messaged to say dermatology have given him a moisturiser, a dermal wash and said he can triple the antihistamines. There is also an asthma drug that he could have. He said the dermatologist knew exactly what his symptoms were so he feels much better about it. I just hope it works. Hopefully the oncology appointment on Wednesday will be OK . I know he's been worrying that the cancer has come back but there is no reason why that should be.
In other news I watched the Springsteen documentary on Disney + and cried my eyes out! It covers the 2023 tour which was very emotional when I went. I've just relived it. Berween No Surrender and See You In My Dreams, I was a wreck🤣. That's why -as I have said many times before- it is all about the lyrics.

That’s good news will keep everything crossed that the new treatment works and his fears will be eased when he sees the oncologist on Wednesday.💙

Just catching up with this Anj ,it is so hopeful that the dermatologist knew what was happening and I sincerely agree with your intuition that there is no reason to suspect a return of Chris's problem .Wishing him the very best on Wednesday ,be strong for him until then .Best wishes to Sophie as she is going through it too .

That’s very positive news Anj. Wednesday will be another hurdle to negotiate but at least it isn’t long to have to dwell on it.

One day and one issue at a time Anj, as they pop up they can be dealt with. It’s energy draining but with belief that things can be overcome they will be. Praying that all works out well for you all…….

It’s great that he has things to try and let’s hope they help with his discomfort. I think it’s totally natural to be worried about the Wednesday appointment, To be honest even now there’s not a day goes by that I don’t worry about my husband’s cancer coming back and I remember so well feeling sick with nerves before his follow up appointments. Sending positive vibes and love to you all 💙
