Hi all

Little update...Single kidney stent fitted yesterday with nephrostomy at the Royal Marsden Chelsea had to leave house at 4am for a 9am appointment,had overnight stay and hoping to have nephrostomy removed today and let home,had to postpone 2nd round of cabizitaxel until next week I felt I couldn't cope with 3 nights in London and chemo,still coping physically but I'm getting no younger and putting on weight.

Will keep you updated as always,Phil

Hi Phil. Why can’t stuff go smoothly for once. What have we done to deserve this ?

Shame you’ve got to come back down again next week for the cabazitaxel. But you know your own body and what you can take .

Hope the nephrostomy can be removed today and you can get back home to recuperate.

Take care buddy,

thinking of you 👍

Hi all

Well kidney stent has been in a couple of days and hopefully settling in to it's new home,was booked in to have 2 fitted(as per consultants instructions) but only had right side fitted as the radiologist did not warrant the left stent to be inserted...who am I to argue with that...still peeing a little blood but drinking plenty of water to keep flushing it through,pain wise it's varys from visit to visit to the loo but it's bearable.

2nd chemo which was postponed a week due to stent being fitted booked in for next Thursday so will update after that.

Take care guys Phil

Hi Phil,

You are doing great! Really hoping the cabazitaxel dies it's job for you and as you say by accessing it this way there may be other options available to you going forward.

Sending you my very best wishes
