Update

[ellseybellsey]

Just a quick update, the last two weeks have been very difficult, two weeks ago my daughter and grandchildren came down from Scotland to take me on a short break to the beautiful Isle of Wight. After only two days I ended up in A&E with a temperature of 39.4 I was admitted for three days in quarantine with a urine infection and neutrophils of 1.8.

Two weeks on I am back in Frimley Park hospital with a kidney infection and have been here since Monday, had a ultrasound scan yesterday and it shows inflammation of the kidneys, so getting lots of antibiotics and fluids.

I should have had new chemo regime Wednesday & Thursday of this week,but hospital I am in let them know I had been admitted. So between being hypersensitive to platinum and now this I feel it’s been a horrible couple of weeks. Forgot to say doctor says the catheter is most probably the cause of infection, also it should have been changed after the first infection.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to read all this.

I hope you had some joy from being with the family. These setbacks are so disheartening.

Really rest hard, okay? That's your job right now. Resting. XXOO

[ellseybellsey in reply to Nancy222]

I will get some rest hopefully when I get home.

Not that easy to rest in hospital is it Ellsey? Especially early mornings.

I hope you respond well to the antibiotics & fluids. I hope you have a new catheter now? Does it need changing routinely eg. every 3 months or so? Best wishes xoxo 🌻🌼🌼🌻

You poor thing. You have really been through the mill. I cannot believe they did not change your catheter when you had a uti. That sounds borderline negligent to me. No wonder it spread to your kidneys.

Anyway I do hope you will be feeling better very soon.

Sending you lots of love.

Hope you’re soon feeling better - it does sometines seem like everything goes wrong at once xxx

[ellseybellsey in reply to Coldethyl]

This reoccurrence seems so much harder, and not a lot of luck.

So sorry to hear you have been feeling so poorly. Hope the kidney infection clears soon and you can continue your treatment. X x

[ellseybellsey in reply to Eriksendi]

I am on a very strong antibiotic, so hopefully it will sort it out, and then back on track with treatment.

Oh no what a shame, even worse while on holiday. I feel for you with these repeated infections. I’m not in hospital but have another infection too. The pain must be awful. I know that this kidney/urine lark is so draining. Praying for you to bounce back quickly

Much love

I believe the catheter should have been changed with the first infection, unfortunately it wasn’t, so it traveled to my kidneys.

Ellsey it sounds like have been through a really hard time when you should be enjoying some days with your children.

My hope is that those antibiotics kick in and do their job and you start to feel better again,

All my love Nicky xx

That’s a shame to be ill on holiday and a pity the catheter wasn’t changed when it should have been. Hope you recover soon and get back on track.

[Solange]

Oh dear Ellsey, you poor Love. You are having a bad time. I'm so sorry. Let's hope once the antibiotics have done their job you'll start to feel a lot better, mentally and physically. Sending love and a big, gentle hug,

Solange 😊💐🤞

[Cropcrop]

I feel for you, I had a kidney infection years ago, it was really awful and extremely painful. The catheter most certainly should have been changed when you had the original infection.

It’s a bummer when illness affects holidays and other members of the family and I’m sorry your holiday was spoiled.

I hope you soon start to feel better and are able to have your chemo very soon. Gentle hugs and love ❤️Xx Jane

[Lizz49]

Oh so sorry to hear that you’re in hospital Ellsey, it sounds like you’ve had a difficult week. I hope they get you sorted soon and your kidneys settle down, hopefully you’ll be able to go home soon and be back on your chemo very soon after,

Sending you tons of hugs and good luck wishes,

Liz Xx 💖

Dear Ellsey

I hope the antibiotics start to work really soon . It just seems so unfair that this should happen when you are enjoying a family holiday. As for the error in not changing what may be the source of the infection , well that is inexcusable . Take care

Sorry that you feel so poorly right now, Ellsey. Hope the catheter gets changed quickly and the infection has a chance to clear up, before the next chemo starts. Hugs, Maus

[Katiebairdie]

So sorry to hear of your problems. I expect the worst thing was being unwell when children with you. Hope you get to see them soon and that you get well even sooner.
