Finally found the application to enter this into Ian's blog. Ian can't as he is in hospital. Unfortunately, Ian fell in the doctors' surgery car park this morning. He smacked his nose/forehead and a finger but was too weak to get up again. Our doctor called an ambulance and he is now in Morriston hospital. His blood sugar was very high, salt levels very low and blood pressure low. They believe that the steroids have contributed to this and have brought on diabetes. In addition, he may have a blood clot on the lung and they have taken a CT scan of his chest this evening to assess fully. We will know the results of that tomorrow.
Ian will be kept in hospital for a few days to help stabilise his system and build up his strength. I suspect that it is now unlikely that chemo will go ahead next week. I will keep you posted in Ian's absence now that (I think) I have mastered this technology?! Thanks for all the kind wishes and supporting messages Sian x
