Ongoing health issues and money worries

Hi my name is Robert Ellingford my journey started back in August 2023 when I went into hospital for one thing and came out with the news I had got kidney cancer, this then for the next few months gave me mixed emotions having good days and bad days, then came 21st December and that is when i had a partial kidney removal for the cancer and then got discharged on the 23rd.

You will never know how that felt a big relief that I was a lucky surviver, then just 4 days later I started feeling unwell with high temperature and had the doctor out who said he thought I might have sepsis and started me off on antibiotics, Then on the evening of the 1st January I got rushed to Taunton hospital with a heart attack caused by the sepsis, I remained in hospital for 9 days whilst they got my heart under control enough to do a angiogram which showed one artery blocked and the other 2 had minor damage, I was put on thinning tablets and bete blockers, these I will be on for life.

After coming home I got signed off work for 3 months and as a sole trader meant I wasn't getting any money, I applied for universal credit and Pip and esp, whilst waiting to find out if I would get any money my health took a change of condition, I have had hot and cold sweats, dry mouth which also got thrush, feeling tired and lethargic, shaking hands and lost 2 1/2 stone and back ache and stomach pain.

It's now 5 months on still haven't had a penny from any of the universal credit or pip or esa, my savings are all gone and life has got very stressful. I have been back to hospital to see my heart consultant who is happy with my progress and also seen the oncologist who said they had got all the cancer from my kidney. After all the conditions I have had after numerous visits to the doctors and having full bloods taken and a pooh sample taken, there is signs of blood in my pooh so the doctors are wanting me to have a colonoscopy to check for cancer in the bowl also bloods showed some high readings of my liver so want me to have ct scan to check for cancer in the liver and also because of the back pain doing a exray of my lumber.

The latest bloods have also shown up higher diabetes readings so increasing my medication.

With all this now comes even more stress and worrying times wondering if cancer has spread around my body, the thoughts are now if I have more cancer will I get through this again. In my head I feel the worst results and struggling to pay bills is happening as well now I am worried that if the worst results happen there is a possibility of leaving all the pain and stress on my poor wife Catherine.

We know over people are struggling but if anyone could donate to my just giving page this could relieve us of some of the financial issues and maybe to put a little amount away for future help for Catherine.
