I just want to update you on my wife and thank you for all concerned about her health.
The operation went well but she is still unable to keep food down due to the fact she has reflux it could be that her body is still recovering and just needs time or it could be something else, the hospital has booked her in for a CT scan a week on Sunday to see what else is going on, I will update this post when I find out more. In the meantime, I can't live stream as I'm looking after her and I would not enjoy it knowing she is so ill but I will post some videos of some of the bonus wins.
Thank you all and I do know I should not post this here but I just wanted to share it with you all
Update on my wife, she has started her treatment (intense radiotherapy) as of yesterday no side effects yet but that might take a bit of time to come out from what I have been reading. I hope you are all well and I will try and do some more livestreaming soon.
Hi Yorkie. Just checking in. Has she started treatment yet. I hope it's going well. been thinking of you both x
We now have dates for all of her radiotherapy appointments starting Wednesday the 20/09/23 for just over 2 weeks.
Sorry all for not being around, This Wednesday my wife is having another CT scan and then I think the week after she will start her treatment.
Update 15/08/23 Just had a phone call from Medway Hospital, they have looked at the PET scan and the canser has not spread it can be treated with an operation or kimo, but she might be too weak for any treatment at the moment so they will need to do an assessment
So the PET scan, not the PAT scan is tomorrow 14/08/23 and it will take about 1 week for us to find out how bad it is, in the mean time she is now home ataached to a machine that feeds her a liqud food to build her up.
thinking of you both yorkie, and as other people have said, if theres anything i can do let me know
New update for you all
08/08/2023 just sent this email.
(Sorry about this but I now think and so do my family and friends think the same that we are getting the run-around.
This is what I wrote to NHS England and to Pals.
(Hello, I am writing to you about my wife who is currently in Medway Hospital, We have been going backwards and forwards with her to her doctors Boots Chatham one in Strood and one in Chatham dockside about the fact she could not eat her food.
She had an enlarged thyroid and we thought it was causing the problem so we kept in contact with the Hospital and in the end they moved her operation forward (13/07/2023).
Then 2 days later I took her back to Boots of Chatham about she could still not eat and her food and water were coming back up.
He said we need to give it time.
So we gave it time until the end of the week. My wife was getting worse and I phoned 111. They sent an ambulance and she has been in the hospital ever since.
We are now waiting to find out if she has cancer or not.
They tell you you should get treatment as soon as possible, but her so Called Doctors just gave us the run-around
Now she might die because they did not help.
Medway Hospital has been brilliant, with 1 exception Yesterday 29/07/23, they moved her to a new ward she went from phoenix ward to Jade Ward just out of the blue and told her nothing, this scared her she sat there all day waiting to be put on the system
With only her food bag. (manager has apologised)
It would have been nice if someone had said to her don't worry we won't forget you, it just takes time to add you to the system.
They had no idea what medication she is meant to be on and she should have had a sign saying telling them she can't eat or drink
Sorry to complain but I love her so much and I don't want her to die because her Doctors did not diagnose or send her for a test
This has not been edited in any way and there are some mistakes in the text but if I was to add more and re-edited the text and go back even further it would get worse for the Boots (So called Doctors )
My point is clear: your Doctors (Boots Chatham 4 surgery I think) are not reading the notes or they don't care or they can't read I am not sure.
But when you go to the Doctor and you say to them LOOK THE FOOD IS NOT GOING DOWN AND 4 HOURS LATER IT IS ALL COMING BACK UP THEY SHOULD TAKE NOTE.
It is not rocket science. I know that there is a problem.
When you spent 2 years maybe 3 going back and forth with reflux why does no one think there's a problem here?
As far as I can see your system does not work or(The Doctors do not care only about the money)
What would you say if it was your wife and she did not eat for 8 plus weeks what would you do? trust the doctor or call 111/999 that's what I did.
At the time of writing this email, my wife is in the hospital with cancer and they tell me the sooner I tell the doctor the better chance they have to survive.
It's a good job I don't post this on my Youtube channel(because I am so tempted, In my opinion }
But the reason I don't is that the team looking after her is 90% good.
Yes not perfect but better than expected.
I just needed to get this off my chest
I am trying to find who I am meant to send this to as NHS England and PALs keep giving me different links
I get the feeling that they don't want me to complain, but I need to do this not just for my wife but to make it a better system
Please let me know your thoughts
Kind regards
David
Please note
My wife now has seen a counsellor I had to speak to McMillion about this, this is because I contacted McMillion I think, she now has a Pet scan booked for tomorrow, thank you, McMillion,
Again, is this because I contacted McMillion? I should not have to chase this up.
When you have a sick person that means the world to you and you have a first-class NAS, you should be able to trust them to do the right thing.
I have told my wife that as soon as possible we will change her Doctor (BOOTS Chatham what A JOKE) to my Doctor who is in the city way of Rochester Kent.
I don't know who to write to because it is so hard to find an email. My only hope is that you can forward this to someone.
I will post this on all my channels to highlight how bad my wife's doctors (in my own opinion) are.
It's now midnight as I sit here writing this email because I can't sleep (worried sick)
Kind regards
David
Thanks all for your support, Sorry for not streaming, she is waiting for a PAT scan that will show how bad it is and then thay can deside what to do next, so I'm hoping by the end of next week we have a plan of action.
Love you Yorkie. Send my best wishes to your wife. If there's anything I can do to help I'd gladly do it. Big hugs dude 🤗 ❤️
Sending love and light x here if you need anything yorkie. From Marc and Maria
Just a short update about the wife, They are feeding her food in liquid form and bypassing the stomach to build her up, This coming Tuesday we have a meeting and they will tell us what is wrong and what they are going to do for her, I pray that they can fix her or at least cotrol it.
Update: She is still in the hospital she has a blockage that is stopping food from getting into her stomach, shes had a CT scan and today she had a camera put inside to have a look at the blockage, tomorrow the 2 teams of doctors are having a meeting to decide what is the best way to fix her, they are doing a test to see if it cancer she also has a fungal infection around the part that is stoping the food this might be what is stoping the valve from opening, this is an easy fix it just needs a mouth spray
Thanks all for the kind words and thoughts, so today shes had a CT scan and a camera up her noce, shes also got to have a camera down in to her stomch but they will put her to sleep for that one. the infection is in her lung but they think the eating problem is with the reflux
Update, she's not doing very well I had to call for an ambulance today and they are keeping her in as she has an infection and she still can't eat.I spent all day in the hospital and did not get home untill 9 pm, they said they wont let her out untill they sort out all of her problems
Thanks for the update. Hope she feels much better soon. Take care, fella.
Thanks for the update and I hope she makes a speedy recovery, I'm sure she will with you looking after her :)
Hope she gets better soon YorkIe
