Can't have more chemo.

I am particularly worried about going on dialysis because it will mean I can’t have any more chemo, which means I can’t fight the mesothelioma. Therefore the cancer will now take its course and will kill me, probably this year.

This is what I meant by 'the beginning of the end' in my previous blog. There is no other treatment available for mesothelioma.

I see my Oncologist on Friday 25th February and will talk to him about it, but the renal specialist says it is unlikely that I can have chemo.

I am still being very sick and it seems to be getting worse, I also have difficulty eating as I feel so nauseous, which means I am losing weight quite quickly.

I did say when I started this blog that it would be warts and all and I am sorry these last ones are not more positive, but it hard to be positive when everything is going against me.

Ronny, my lovely friend, my heart goes out to you. I haven't given up on you honey. I can understand that you must be so depressed. I have everything crossed for you, you are one of the most courageous people I know not that that helps much.
Keep on keeping on, where there is life there is hope x x x
