Iris and Peter,
Stent control? Tell me more. What is done at this time or is it just scans? I suffered with the intense itching for way too long due to stupidity on my part. I have asthma/allergies and always did seem to suffer with dermatitis or excema......I never (nor did my skin doctor) see it as anything other than that. Only when I turned yellow did I go down that different road! My job was stressful and figured maybe that had something to do with it.....my stubborness and insistency in seeing it as being caused by something else has a lot to blame.
one more week till I feel the sand in between my toes.

Hi Pam,
The stent control is mainly a blood control matter and a talk afterwards with the specialist. They can see the stent gets blocked when the blood changes. In Peters case the blood was better than before. He also had the feeling that things are quit well at the moment, since he has more appetite. After the week in hospital doctors had told us he would not gain weight anymore (he lost 10 kilo's on a weight of 68 kilo's), because his body would take all the energy by fighting the cancer. But today he weighs 64 kilo's, so he (we) gained 5 kilo's back.
The Netherlands has a couple of small islands north of the country. We too look forward to spending a week there, on the beach and in the small villages. Only we wait till the weather gets nicer. When our feets are in the sand we will greet you :)
Love, Iris and Peter.
