Day 313 - Andrew getting chemo today


Dear Friends!

we have some good news. With the help of our Guardian Angels managed to accelerate the application of chemioteraphy for today.

Andrew is already in Fordon on blood tests, and then must wait for the results and we hope that nothing stands in the way, he gets chemioteraphy.

He is very glad that it managed to speed it up because he is very troubled by his pains. Altogether, both right and left side. But the radiotherapy was not addressed to diffuse the right lung and Andrew really counting on chemioteraphy.

Andrew also has problems with swallowing because of the side effects of radiotherapy, I feel a burning sensation and difficulty in swallowing when eating. Take already in connection with this drug, but the treatment takes a long time, and apparently no significant improvement immediately.

Day 304 - the last one - fifth day of radiotherapy treatment


On Friday, Andrew really hurt the left side of the chest, he feared that the cause of the heart . Ambulance took him to the hospital. There has undergone a series of tests to rule out cardiac cause of pain ailments. Fortunately cardio all turned out to be fine.

In a telephone consultation with his doctor of oncology they decided to take a break in radiotherapy till Monday. This pain can cause swelling of the tumor as a result of radiation therapy.

Andrew yesterday adopted a fourth treatment exposure, today - the fifth. He take all the time Sevredol (morphine) preventive and thus pain, so it is not annoying.

Doctors also decided that two weeks after radiotherapy Andrew received chemotherapy (name Winereblina) . He enrolled at the clinic today on 3rd December at 13.00 and that day he will get chemiotherapy.

CT scanner control after radiotherapy performed about one month after the last treatment to see how take effect.

So we wait.

Day 298 - Today at 10:00 am Andrew is the second radiation treatment

Dear Friends!

Yesterday Andrew said that after radiotherapy do not really feel that something bad happened to him. Maybe it's still too early for side effects. Or maybe his strong body does not handle this so bad! We believe it!
He complained again only on the right side of the lungs, it teases him that he was suffocating and he feels that there is something going wrong.

Today, he is to appear at 10.00 on a blood test, followed him to go into a room, where they will make radiotherapy.

And then back to the house.

Day 297 - Andrew has the first radiation today at 12:30PM


Andrew is going to Fordon, to the hospital now. About 12.30 he has the visit about the radiation. We do not know how long they will keep him in the hospital. On Friday, albeit no longer they put him signs on the body to do the radiation, it can now be even specify before the surgery, we'll see ....

Today he still feel the same, no change, nothing better. We hope the side effects of radiotherapy were not very troublesome for him would be as soon as he felt better.

We pray for it.

Day 293 - in Gliwice Andrew received another aid

Dear Friends!

In Gliwice learned that the knife Cybernetic therapy is not possible in the case of Andrew disease. It is used for tumor size to 6cm ( Andrew tumor has now 75x76mm ) and the condition is no metastases to lymph nodes of the abdomen . The television program that was watching Aunt told otherwise but what do we do ?
The doctor with whom we were in consultation commissioned radiotherapy. Of course therapy in Gliwice would be a big hurdle , so contacted the Bydgoszcz Oncology and Andrew there has been stored on a visit to the plant radiation on Thursday - 07.11 . Andrew also registered a commission on Bydgoszcz Oncology on Wednesday at 6.11. at 9.30 in the morning. The committee was not easy , but thanks to the recommendations of Doctor of Oncology in Gliwice been written on the visit was commissioned to radiotherapy. This is not all simple. Andrew heard that the radical radiotherapy does not qualify as a palliative in terms of a total or not ... You have to fight hard for their rights . About their right to be treated !

Apparently because of CyberKnife'a could be considered for a trip to Gliwice yet failed referral for radiotherapy and agree with the doctor in Bydgoszcz and write in black and white that Andrzej Wroblewski is due to appear in the Department of Radiotherapy in Bydgoszcz and that is t fixed telephone alters the things - the patient suddenly qualify for radiotherapy .

It 's unbelievable how much you have to fight against each other in sickness . How important is each word that you shall speak in your case and what presses , which wyprosi what is written , spoken , determined promised .

Who knows what would be the outcome of Wednesday's Commission if there is one sheet of A4 paper which brought in Gliwice .

Of course, the committee was another fight with each other. The time limits for radiation only at the end of November - 25th may 26th ...

Hopefully our guardian angel helped Andrew and managed to find a free date today !
This morning Andrew was on Oncology in Fordon .
It turned out, however, that radiation will not begin until Tuesday , daily for 5 days to Saturday inclusive .
Today we made ​​only on the fast tomography without contrast , to accurately mark the position of irradiation .

We look forward to Tuesday , then.
