hi everyone
I've not posted much lately, two reasons. firstly my surgery with the ENT didn't go as expected, They couldn't laser as there was no scar tissue in the trachea, just a narrowing giving me 30% less air than I should have and the only way to fix this is by resection of my trachea, a procedure that sounds pretty major to me.
Secondly my Mum has just been DX with stage 3 inoperable oesophagus cancer, they have put in a stent so she can eat soft food, but it's only 4 months since my Dad died and they had been married almost 60 years and I'm not sure she is ready for a fight with radiotherapy and chemo, I know she is 80 years old but she is bright as a button and supported me all through my ops, looked after me and my blind husband, so she put all of us first and now she is so ill, she has lost at least 44lb and I think only the morphine is keeping her going.
Just needed to vent and explain my limited posts
What a s###ty mess
Sunshine... love and hugs
