Renal failure

Well, the sickness still continues. My eGFR has now dropped to 11, anything below 15 is considered as stage five kidney failure. I have an appointment with a renal specialist on Tuesday and my GP thinks they will admit me into hospital. I hope they do as it definitely needs sorting out. I am hoping they put me on dialysis to finally clear the remaining chemo from of my blood.

I have an appointment and CT scan with my oncologist for the mesothelioma due next Friday, I will have to rearrange it if I am admitted to hospital.

We had a good holiday except I was ill for the last four days. The temperatures were up in the 30’s and it was nice to get some sun. I had hoped that the sunshine would help my kidney condition, but it seems to have had the opposite effect.

It is very wearing being ill, especially as I have been being sick since August when I had the first of this round of Chemoembolizations in Frankfurt.
