I had more blood test results Friday and it seems my eGFR is still only 17 and my creatinine levels 256. My GP is calling Jeremy Steele at St. Bart's on Monday to see if he wants to treat me or should a kidney specialist. My nearest kidney specialist is in Canterbury, a bit of a drive but easier to get to than St. Bart's. I have to wait to see what is decided for me.
I am disappointed that I don’t feel any better; I was hoping I would improve quicker.
My GP suggested I contact the Prof. To see what he thinks should be done. His reply was ‘thanks, you should use infusions then it will improve again.’ I guess that means drink lots of tea as it is a diuretic I think.
I am supposed to be going on holiday at the end of January, so I hope I can still go, as it is all paid for and the insurance won’t pay out for anything connected to mesothelioma.
My picture today is of my youngest son Stephen and his son Joseph. He is such a hands on Dad, it is lovely to see.
