I fell ill suddenly and I fronted at Emergency where the triage nurse identified that I was jaundice and had liver duct blockages.
From that moment and the remaining 33 days I spent in Royal Perth Hospital, I felt I was cared for way beyond my expectations. All the nurses in Ward 6G deserve medals and my doctors, Emma and Matt, were there daily for me.
Unfortunately, the outcome is not as good as I would have hoped - I have in-operable liver cancer, so I am now off to Oncology at Fiona Stanley for chemo.
At home, I have had Silver Chain come along and do my dressings, once again, what great service - it is so good to be in WA. I feel we have a great health system.
Thanks everyone who was involved in my care I appreciate it.
