Latest Update

Today (Sunday 25th May), Peter was able to come home from hospital for a few hours. He was getting somewhat "stir crazy" and as he is currently unhooked from the IV drip and is on pain relief via a sub-cutaneous syringe driver, was able to spend a few hours at home away from the hospital routine which is wearing thin.

He may start chemotherapy tomorrow for around 3 weeks. He has been losing weight rapidly but has started to eat tiny amounts again now (but is refusing hospital "mush") so I am cooking some good Hungarian recipes and blending them to take into him. I can highly recommend Vizvári Mariska's Cream of Mushroom soup as an outstanding recipe and one he has appreciated.

I can, however, say that Rakott Krumpli (apologies to all Hungarians for my appalling spelling on these foods) when blended, is not that appealing to look at, but Peter seemed to enjoy it.

Will update again soon.

It was great to hear that Peter had a few hours away from hospital - after all they aren't the healthiest places to be either! It must have been terrific for both of you to have a little while to yourselves. Thinking of you both as always!

Thinking of you both. Goulash & salami are about the only other Hungarian foods I know of. Will try the mushroom soup!! May the fat be with you. Peter & Lynne Davis
