Sorry to hear this news but then again it's all part of the rollercoaster that is PCa. I mean this in a good way i.e. Trevor will respond and pick up where he left off. We can never second guess this disease but we can always hope for the best.

Julie, so sorry to read this latest news - but grateful it was after Christmas rather than just before ... children so need those happy, normal times. Let us know when you get any more info from the hospital team x

SS, nooooo I am so sorry this is happening again, as you so rightly say the new normal is such a rollercoaster. With Trevor's non PCa issues it must be difficult to tell which is causing the problems so getting him to hospital has to be the right thing, As Lyn says thank goodness he was able to have a great Xmas day and Boxing day with you and the boys.

I am coiming home on Saturday via Si, Ness and the girls but will call you before then.

Thinking of you as always

Hi Julie

Sorry to hear about your Trevor. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

You are always so supportive and kind with your responses to other member's posts and yet you have such a lot to deal with in your own life. Just to let you know I greatly respect and admire you for all you do.

Sending best wishes to you both and hoping 2015 will be a better year.

Hi Julie

As a newbie I was reading your thread. I'm afraid that I am neither qualified or knowledgable enough to add to the thread, but I hope that you don't mind my adding warmest and best wishes to you, Trevor and the rest of the family in what is clearly a difficult time. I hope that Trevor is well enough to spend the New Year with you all.

Trevor.

User
Posted 29 Dec 2014 at 21:05
Oh no Julie

I hoped so much that the the only blue lights would be the fairy lights and you nearly did it.

I can only hope and pray that Trevor is improving and that the children are ok.

Thinking of you all

Slightly more optimistic news T has Pneumonia so OK not a brilliant diagnosis with his other health issues but he as usual is fighting back and so far winning. His temp has returned to normal and the BP is rising slowly he was started on IV fluids and Aunty Bs before leaving here and that has continued and is doing the trick. He is sitting up , chatting and managed to shower and shave by himself. So a huge improvement from how he was two days ago, I on the other hand am still a quivering wreck and am know facing up to the fact that at this rate he will probably out live me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS

LOTS OF LOVE

I have just read your train poem to John although I wobbled a little towards the end, my story is that there was something stuck in my throat and I am sticking to that. We hope that Trevor has just had a little day trip and is now on his way back to the booking office to renew his season ticket for another year (before the prices rise in January) x

Hi SS

thank the Lord for that, I was so worried for you , there is an awful lot of bad sickness this month so many friends have been down with chest infections, flu and bronchitis the conditions must be ideal for it. Trevor will of course be more susceptible as well.

I can almost visualise Trevor yearning for a home cooked curry snuggled up in front of the TV with you and the boys and the occasional dog or puppy!

I return North on Saturday so will ring you when I get home.

Sounds like another corner successfully turned in not so much that formula one racing car but more llike a supermarket trolley with a wonky wheel. It got you round it in one piece though. Now you need to take time out have a chill evening with a very large glass of Chardonnay and regain some of that strength and humour we all love you for so much.

Here is to a much calmer and happier 2015

Just to take a moment and save Julie just a little task, Trevor is still in the short stay ward he is a little better today but still having spikes in his temperature. Julie is fine but tired. Going to see her on Thu with Si. Will take any messages.

I am sure Julie will post soon.

Thank you SS,

firstly I cannot believe that you lot got me to move over too the dark side and know you have all bu@@ered of and left me on my own, I only came to keep you lot company.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif

So the news is 2 steps forward and 4 steps back the spikes in temp and low BP are indicating that the virus has not been knocked out . To quote the DR his bloods are all over the place as usual we are not sure if this is from PC related issues or the Pneumonia . He had a bad day yesterday very high temp and very tired but seems much more perky today. He is as usual very preoccupied with the hospital menu but then he asked for an egg sandwich half an hour before I called the ambulance (and he ate it).

We were concentrating on the PC and our next Onco appointment on Fri (this is for scan results and maybe starting Abi) that we didn't see the Amsterdam Express coming round the corner. He is still on the short stay ward so I am taking that as a positive.

Life eh , it can get a bit tough at times.

Relieved to see your update but I really wish there was something I could do to help. Mo & Si are okay people but I wouldn't trust either of them on your ride-on mower.

Good news at last Trevor arrived home at around 6.30 so finally I can say HAPPY NEW YEAR. He still looks weak and a little frazzled around the edges but soooooooooooooo much better than when he left.

He certainly likes to keep me on my toes, BP is still on the low side but his bloods are much better and temp seems to be behaving. I think he is just trying to go through the alphabet of medical ailments we must be getting close to Z.

I just want to say a HUGE Thank you for all of your messages of support . It means so much and in dark hours keeps me afloat .

Lyn thank you for offers of help , Si and Mandy looking forward to Thur you can both have a go on the ride on (no fighting or racing) and there are more than enough dogs to go round.

Thanks again to all. XX

Dear Julie and Trevor,


Delighted to hear Trevor is back at home. now.

You know, reading your posts over so long, we can't fail to be impressed by how, through all the hard times, your humour shines through. I know I've laughed out loud so many times.when you've cast sunshine on a dark day.

And as for the 'Newark Crew'. I salute you all. Too funny!!

I sincerely hope the whole lot of you are at The Mill on June 20th.

Warmest wishes always,

What a lovely day , Mandy and Si arrived with enough food to feed an army . We had a lovely afternoon chatting then for tea we had Mandy's jerk chicken which got the thumbs up from Trevor and WOW you should see her Carrot cake . Well actually you can't see it now because we have eaten half of it.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif

The boys are half way through Mandy's flap jack . I am going to hide it before I go to bed otherwise it will gone by morning.

So Onco tomorrow with results of bone and MRI scans that were done before Xmas also PSA result if we have had a drop with stopping Bicalutamide then we will hold of with Abbi tabs for now, if we have had a rise or scan results show progression then onwards and upwards with Abbi.

T has had a good day today even doing the school run this morning and even though he was slightly nervous about meeting Mandy Mo and Si he is now glad that they came and at last I know have witnesses to vouch for Trevor talking the hind legs of a donkey.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif

Who knows I may even get him to Newark.
