Hangover

[JonBechstein]

Hello Iwas told that it is three yrs since I had my big op to remove various tumours for my colon. I has now metastasized to lung and liver. I am, under the circumstances, a very fortunate person in that I show no further growth; I have other co morbidities such as high, then low hyper/hypotension.And Diverticular disease. Since you have busy lives, I will not engage you into the saga of my life! About three to four days a wk, I wake w a hangover, headache, nausea etc., I eat the same every day: cold chicken, potatoes, broccoli, and whatever is green. I drink nothing but water. My night medicine is Solifenacin ten m., Paracetamol and and Ibuprofen. Today I had a txt saying my kidney function was a little below normal I have something wrong w my portal vein. fall around a lot, have occasional brain fog.

Thank you, you have been very kind! I am somewhat baffled; I am fortunate in that someone will call, but, since ignorance could move into denial, I thought here would be the place to ask, informally if any one has experienced this Thank you for being there, Kind Regards, Jon
