General Chat

Liz he will be on warfarin for about six months, he has clots in both lungs due to pneumonia (I think) and they have to be broken down. He is over 60 so has a bus pass, so it doesn't cost him anything on the bus.
Thanks Sallie and Sylvia, it is so good to see him looking better, and with my news about cancer clinic we are happy bunnies at the moment.

Caz, sorry I didn't get to chat with you last week, but didn't want to disturb you when you were trying to catch up with your sleep. Hope the weather stays ok so Philip can get to the hospital without getting soaking wet or blown off his feet altho if it's too warm I know you suffer.
Let's hope his warfarin levels get sorted out quickly and he feels lots better as the days go on. I suppose what he saves on petrol goes on bus fares at the mo. You take care, love to you both

Hi Caz,

Glad that Phil is starting to look better although still slow getting around.
Hope he will soon build his strength up. Please tell him I'm sending him love and get well wishes.

Hope thinks are not too bad for you too, and are managing as well as you can, as things are. Also sending you love and lots of positive thoughts.

Both you and Phil take care.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

I didn't know there were more messages added, sorry. Liz the other hospital is two busses away, he has to go into town then another bus up to the hospital, BRI is easy to get to from here and he hasn't to drive for the time being so it's all busses. He is beginning to look better but still very slow getting around but he will be at home for quite a few weeks so can build his strenghth up.

Great news Caz, I am pleased for you that you can visit the hospital less often and also not have to worry about the effects of chemo on your feet etc.
Hope you can have a peaceful few weeks and gain a little strength perhaps, no more hassles for a while eh?
Is the other hospital nearer to you for Philip to get checked out? Hope he continues to feel better and you enjoy spending a bit more time together while he is off work.

lots of love to you both

Caz your news is great, well done to be able to stop the chemo. And I am pleased that Philip is doing well too.

Caz, I'm glad you both are doing well :-D
Take care, thinking of you both

Glad Phill is feeling better.

Hi everybody, we were both at the hospital this morning, me at cancer clinic at the top end and him at the bottom end, my sister went with me. The news for me is super, he said the tumour count is really down now so he has stopped my chemo for the near future, I don't have to see him for two months instead of every three weeks, brilliant. Philip is doing well but has to start going to the warfarin clinic at our other hospital on Friday, but he is feeling a lot better and thanks you all for your messages.

Sylvia so sorry to read about your break-in, there are some low lifes about these days.

Caz xx

So sorry to read this Caz!


I'm glad that Philip is home safe, and hope he continues to do well.


We were away for a few days, and the computer went to GoGo Geek hospital while we were away to be cleaned up ......... they found a few nasties, but also loaded it up with some new stuff.

Do hope all went well for Philip at the clinic and that he doesn't get a secondary infection.

Hi Caz,

Glad to see Phillip is back home and hope all went well at the clinic today.

Teresa xx

I hope that all went well with the clinic visit today and that they can help Philip to be more comfortable.
It's so good to see him home after all you've been through.

Take care
love jude xx

Hello girls, Philip is bach at the warfarin clinic this morning, as he was yesterday, I suppose they will have to get the right dosage for his blood. He is a lot better but this morning said his lung was hurting him where the pnuemonia was in his back. I hope it's not coming back, but someone at the hospital mentioned a secondary infection sometimes.
Thanks for all your messages he appreciaties them, I am off to lie down now while waiting for him, I'm so tired now with everything that's gone on.

Love Caz xx

So glad Philip id back home again.Take care both of you.

Keep us updated



(((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))

Caz ask at the clinic about any foods to avoid. Write down any questions you have and take the paper with you. You will have chance to ask everything you want to know

Cranbery juice was one Dad was told to avoid by one nurse then she said if he drinks it he has to have it every day, that was while in hospital. Then at the clinic the Dr said it was ok he could have it when he wanted it.

Hi Caz, I'm so glad you managed ok while Philip was in hospital.

It's fantastic that he is now home. I go with my mum to the warfarin clinic, sometimes it has been a weekly visit and sometimes monthly, it depends if she has been unwell or if her meds have changed, it changes the reading of warfarin so the weekly visits stay for a few weeks to get sorted then back to monthly.
Mum has her warfarin after having 3 heart attacks in a matter of months a couple of years ago. At 83 she is doing well.
I am sure Philip will be fine on warfarin once the dose is sorted correctly for him, the only thing mum says about it is, she now feels the cold more, and she cannot eat certain foods, she misses cranberries, she adored them but they are a no go for her now.

Take Care and be good :-D

I rang Caz last evening but Philip said she had gone to bed early as she was so tired after all the worry of him being in hospital. He said he had never felt pain like he had before he went to hospital but is starting to feel stronger again now. He has to see his gp to get a sick note for work and I think he will be happier when his warfarin dosage is sorted out too.
It was nice to be able to talk with him now I know him from my brief visit to them a few weeks ago.

love and hugs to Caz if she comes on here today
