Went to St Thomas's hospital today to get by chemo pump changed and see the dietion. It took much longer than expected. Firstly the chemo drugs were not ready, and when they did get them, they only got one pump, I need another pump to take home. So we had to wait yet again. We got there at 12:20 and didn't leave till 4pm. It normally only takes 1 hour in total.
Also mentioned to the docs that I was feeling pain when I eat. We suggested that I should cut down on some of the drugs that can cause irritation. Seems like the doctors are following our suggestions rather than giving advice from experience. You would think that they would have had patients with similar problems in the past and know how to solve the issues.
Anyway, I feel better now that I've let some steam off....thanks for reading through it all.
My weight is still dropping.

Hi mate,
Keep strong and it won't be long before you're out on the whiskies again.
I know you're running out of things to watch at home so have u seen Day Break? Knowing how much u download, I mean how many DVD's you buy from the shops, no doubt you've probably seen it.
Take care,
Nee
