It’s a horrid disease. It’s those closest to you that take it worse. I’ve had two types, and thankfully surgery did its job (so far). if you ever need to talk @Birdie you know where I am
It's all been a bit of a mess these last few weeks, I started going down hill rapidly, went into hospital and they found I had a chest infection and a blood clot on my lung, was put on 14 tablets a day, my third course of chemo was delayed by a week, I had the third course last Wednesday and although I have absolutely no energy I do feel a bit better in myself. Thanks Steve.
Thank you for the update Steve. I never owned a "baby" Elan so i really envy you, as it looks like you knew them well. I went to look at a couple but settled on a cheap TR5 instead in around 1975.
Thats good to hear you feel a bit better in yourself Just rest up your body is going through a lot of energy and it's ok to have rest days Blood clots are painful I had 4 in one go! bloody picc lines I see you and I hear you
It had a few modifications Chris, the arches were widened and it had a half race balanced engine and this one was fitted with twin 40 Webbers not the SU carb's fitted to later models, It had a habit of getting through wheel bearings also. Reg number was LOT 17F Steve
PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels creeping up, I was told today. So may be a metastasis from my prostate cancer of years ago. Offered a PET scan at Barts Hospital, to check. So it goes.
Latest update, my prostate blood levels are back to normal so the consultant says I don't need any more treatment other than six monthly blood checks, as far as the mesothelioma I had a scan two weeks ago and it showed that the chemo had shrunk the tumour, bearing in mind that it's a 50/50 chance of it working is good news, the scan also showed that the blood clot on my lung had completely gone, I should have been having my sixth and last session of chemo today but because of low platelets in my blood it has been pushed back a week.
