Update On Oh

Had appointment with consultant today. Confirmed he has lung cancer and emphysema. The cancer has not spread and it is operable. That is such a great relief. Feel like a huge weight has been lifted.
He is not too bad in himself. He gave up smoking two weeks ago and is managing that really well seeing as he has smoked for 62 years.
One change in him though is he is sleeping an awful lot. After breakfast he will have an hour. Same in the afternoon and again in the evening.
The main problem he has, he is in a lot of pain with very bad swollen legs and feet. But today he has been given diuretics to help with that.
So onwards and upwards, we just have to wait for his appointment.

Three anesthetists did not want to work on him, because of various industrial lung conditions. Thankfully one did, and he did very well post operatively.
Best wishes for s speedy op and recovery for Mr Caran.

He has to have a heart scan first but consultant says it will be in weeks so that is good. Only down side is operation will be in Bristol not Gloucester.
My driving is not good now. I have lost confidence and only do local journeys.
Family and friends have been marvellous and said they will drive me about.
