Feeling Worried
Paul has had his results.
Paul got the results of his scan this morning and we were over the moon to hear that he does not have cancer. We noticed however that his Consultant was not looking too happy and when we asked him what was wrong he told us that according to his blood results his liver function has decreased drastically and he will need to get a transplant within the next 3 to 4 months. We both hit rock bottom then. Because Paul has Hep C his chance at a successful transplant is very low so this was the worst kind of news we could have got.
His Consultant is going to arrange another 3 scans at the Western Hospital plus an EEG test. Once he has all these results Paul will need to go into the transplant ward for a week to get all the usual tests done before they contact the transplant list. His Consultant thinks he may require an urgent transplant which will mean he will go near the top of the list.
We are both shell shocked and I'm sure my Hubby is terrified at the prospect of this operation but all we can do is take it one day at a time. I still carry a small beam of hope inside me that they will come up with something to improve the liver without doing the transplant but again we will just have to wait and see.
I have been inundated with phone calls from all our friends and family and at the moment I do not really feel like talking to them. I seem to be repeating the same story over and over again. I wish I could just post a bulliten on the internet but unfortunately not everyone has a computer or knows how to use them.
I would like to thank you all for your kind comments and prayers. They really helped me get through the week end and the long wait for his results. Now I will have to go through it all again untill all the information has been gathered and interpretated. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that they can come up with anything apart from a transplant to help my husband.
Till my next entry take care and God bless.

You know the implications better than anyone Joyce, but you never know, a transplant may be the best thing that could happen, imagine it improving his life no end :-D
It's easy for me to say 'remain positive', but that's what I am going to do. I am going to believe that this op will be the best thing that could happen for him!
My very best wishes go to you both for a much healthier and happier future. :-))))

Oh Joyce, I`m so sorry to hear your news. I can only imagine how hard it is to keep repeating this to everyone over and over. I`m sure you just want to have a bit of quiet to take it all in. I`m be praying for you both.
(((((((Hugs)))))))
