A week ago I had a chest x-ray and I have now got the results – very much as we expected although the growth rate seems huge – a 25% increase in size in two months - anyway the report said.........
Comparison made with previous examination dated 16 April 2010. The largest deposit is situated in the left chest and this has a maximum diameter of 15 cm. This was previously 12 cm two months ago therefore significant volume increase has occurred.
The other metastatic deposits in the right hemithorax have increased to a similar degree.
Pleural spaces clear. No bone lesions visible
My understanding is that the growths are cannonball shaped with a bit of distortion to fit into places.
I feel better today than I have felt for some time and was pleased when I took Jack all the way round Sewell Park without stopping for a rest – a long time since I have done that! I also had my first cup of coffee for a few weeks – it tasted very odd, I’ll get used to the taste again I suppose but what a strange thing to drink......
Being ill, scarily so for a week, lends itself to introspection and thinking about one’s life. I think that I can truthfully say that after the age of 16 – when I left school which I hated and was bored by – I have had a really good life but, the last 13 years have been the best of all – thank you “G”. Long may it continue as we bicker, laugh and love our ways through the days
Tomorrow a CT thorax, abdomen and pelvis scan, which means a disgusting lemon flavoured drink and being canalized.

Canalized? Is that like keel hauling? G
Good to hear you're up and about!
I wasn't sure of the spelling - Hay could help perhaps - but it's when you have a dirty great line inserted in you!
I think it is cannulized but am probably wrong. Good to hear from you. I agree that the lemon flavoured drink is horrible!
Who cares how it's spelled, it sounds disgusting anyway.
Well, good luck with that. Glad to hear you feel better.
Goodbye old friend, wherever you are.
RIP Richard - may your sufferings be at an end and may you enjoy falling through an endless summer sky.
Take heart Gavin, I know it feels as if your world has imploded but the memories that only you can know will ease the suffering as time goes by. You are in my thoughts tonight.
Richard, I'm sorry I haven't found you until now, when you have gone on. I wanted you to have your own blog and I see that you did. I hope it gave you and Gavin some comfort, being able to share your frustrations and your many delights...
Thank you for posting your civil p photos - I have just been smiling my way through them - Not an irascible face amongst the guests or the grooms.
Bless you. Bless those around you. With love x
I'm so sorry to find that you've gone. Rest in peace dear 'fairy'.
Richard - can you hear me?
