5. How Could This Be Happening ?

I returned to the hospital on the Monday morning to find that they had sent Tony for an Ultra Sound Scan before I arrived, I was a little upset that this had taken place before I arrived but this is hospital and I had not yet become accustomed to the fact that they work 24/7.

Tony told me that the scan had shown up a shadow on his liver, that’s when the alarm bells rang loud and clear !All through the day Doctors and Nurses were coming and going and yet nobody could not , or would not , give us any more information.Test results from the blood were all coming back negative and although the pain was getting worse for him it was being kept under control.

A Doctor from the Royal Navy who was working in the hospital came and told us that he thought that it was a cyst pushing on his liver and this was causing the jaundice.We clung on to this hope .... A CT Scan was booked for the following day for the whole of his body, perhaps then we would know for sure what the problem was.
