It’s alway the demanding and rude patients that get what they want!
His going to live a vicious circle unfortunately now of these ascites coming back it really is a very very poor prognosisHow can he think there is a possibility he will be able to have the CRS/HIPEC surgery?!?!?! After this news? I very much doubt there is any going back from this point unfortunately.
But is what he is saying the truth though? You can’t take anything he says at face value because his plans, his ideas, his recollection of events, his moods, all change super quick.
He's not stable , it's disease progression and ascites is a very bad sign with a median survival of 1-4 monthsHow can his cancer be stable but he’s having disease progression? I’m not medically educated so forgive me if I’m being dim but I would assume that stability means it’s not progressing?
Nhs cancer patients are offered counselling aren't they? I was thinking earlier that if he hasn't already then it may help him. He seems in a bit of denial (?) about what is going on or he's at least burying it. I am sorry he's at the stage he is at. I feel he should dip out of ig and focus on his loved ones and talking things through with a counseller. Counsellers are so beneficial and you can be vulnerable with them. It's not like speaking to family where you may hold back because you don't want to upset them.It’s a shame he’s never had any counselling - I doubt it would be very effective on a personality such as his, but it may have helped him spend his time more wisely and reach an acceptance of where he’s at. There will be no surgery, not now, not ever if what he says is true. He focuses too much on the bowel as a point of stability and a market for his options, as if that’s the only factor at play here. It isn’t. The spread is the issue. He actually looks quite poorly. I don’t know if the hair is helping or hindering with that right now.
He was probably offered and afforded many opportunities through the NHS that he has not taken up due to his ongoing chopping and changing from public to private. Rich’s journey epitomizes the exact reason why moving your health information between providers is not necessarily a rewarding or positive experience given so much is lost along the way. With a significant cancer diagnosis, it’s way too late to backtrack in search of more time.Nhs cancer patients are offered counselling aren't they?

Does he look poorly ? I think he looks his usual vile self quite frankly. No weight loss!!It’s a shame he’s never had any counselling - I doubt it would be very effective on a personality such as his, but it may have helped him spend his time more wisely and reach an acceptance of where he’s at.

I wondered the same all odd. Funny how he was well enough to treat the Drs & the Nhs like tit and clearly threatened them in some way. Poor excuse of a man. He’s terminally ill and that gives him no right to bully, threat & intimidate people. Funny how the hospice dr didn’t examine him thoroughly enough before he sent him to A & E Department also skipping the cue to be seen immediately hmmmm why does he get preferential treatment?Wow, his rant was something else and then it turns out, the dr was absolutely correct?!
Also I don’t get it, if he was admitted to the hospice to treat his bowel obstruction, which it turns out are now fine, why is he going back tomorrow? For palliative care?
I try not to catch up with him too often - he just grates on me now to a point where I can’t do it. Any empathy I had evaporated long ago. His disgusting rant of today - ugh. It’s inconceivable for a person to continue this vile behaviour in these circumstances. Maybe I’m not used to the hair colour but I thought he looked drained and sickly. I know he’s still looking well covered for someone in his position, it just looked a bit like bloat rather than weight to me. I’m probably wrong. He’s so obstinate that despite the illness, he somehow probably manages to shovel in the same vast and likely unhealthy meal choices he always did as before. Even with stage 4 and a stoma, he’ll apparently eat and drink whatever he likes. he doesn’t even try and help himself. Just expects everyone else to clean up the mess.Does he look poorly ?

Thanks so much, always feels important to log everything so people can see how rational this thread is in response to the lies he spins about it.Placing these here for reference (and for any newbies who find this thread - here’s the real Rich):
