Drainage journal:
21/4/23. Done with a small calibre needle without interventional radiology (IR), but did use a bedside ultrasound. 20ml drained before blockage. The initial thought was that the blockage was due to loculations (pockets of fluid, rather than a single 'bag' of fluid).
9/5/23. Assessment made for a second drain without IR. Bedside ultrasound showed no loculations, but lots of mucin. The attempt was aborted, as the doctor determined that IR was required.
19/5/23. Drain done with 14 French needle with IR. 2.8 litres drained before blockage from mucin.
8/6/23. Drain done with 8.5 French needle with IR. 1.5 litres drained before blockage from mucin.
18/6/23. Drain done via laparoscopy incision. 7.0 litres drained without blockage. The surgeon estimated he got 90% of the ascites out, which is par for the course.
30/6/23. Drain done with 16 French needle with IR. 4.2 litres drained before 90% blockage from mucin.
20/7/23. Drain done with a 16-French needle with IR. 6.0 litres drained before complete blockage from mucin.

A powerful story of shaving the head and an appropriate and sobering act today. RIP Sarah 💕
Amazing post Rest Peacefully Sweet Sarah ❤
Paul, I found this to be one of your most profound videos on so many levels. You are undoubtedly one of the best storytellers that I have ever come across in my lifetime. You are able to seamlessly weave together personal remembrances of the past with events which have transpired in the present. I usually get emotional watching your videos, but this one struck me far more than any other, and I'm not sure why. Thank you for sharing this with us...
ps- By the way, you haven't changed much from the days of "young Paul." Still as handsome as ever - hair or no hair!

What a beautiful tradition and tribute to a love one who has passed away. And for Sarah ❤❤❤
I am heartbroken about Sarah😢I followed her channel for so long and it feels like I knew her so well. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful, emotional story and your experience from Papua and New Guinea🙏🏼 You are such a wonderful storyteller ❤
Thank you Paul for such a beautiful tribute to Sarah ❤️ Such a beautiful lady 😢 RIP Sarah ❤️
What a beautiful way to celebrate Sarah. I'm sure her family is praying for your health
Lovely tribute to Sarah. Sending positive vibes to you ❤️
RIP Sarah ❤ a beautiful tribute.
Hi Paul, you are amazing, positive and compassionate person. I started watching your vlog recently and it’s quite inspiring one.
I have secondary peritoneal cancer with lots of belly fluid(
I am inoperable, stage 4 and I am 46(
I am in the UK in hospital at the moment and I lost a lot of weight and my bmi in my whole body. I am really scared too, I can only pray to God to get better. I wish you the same, to beat this horrible disease and live a life full of joy and happiness.
Your videos gives me positivity as you are very bright and sweet soul, as well as brave one.
Lots of regards from UK🙏💕✨
Hi there, we have a very rare cancer. I just wanted to check that you are aware of PMPpals.net. If you aren't, then please click on that URL, and then select Support >>> HOPE ZOOM. From there you can sign up for twice weekly Zoom calls. The meetings are well attended (typically around 15 people each call) by people that are in various stages of PMP. Some of the attendees are Oracles of knowledge. Please consider attending. Even if it is just once. Paul.
@@PaulinPerth Thank you very much Paul, will look into it💕
Paul, you need to continue what you are doing p. A daily basis, bringing joy into people's lives. You have unique ability to be very open and honest and engaging. This video contained great wisdom about the realities of life for CA sufferers and their carers while still bringing them a hopeful message. We are all "living with cancer" not "dying". Each day offers a possibility of making a difference in this world. We can, as you do, show great compassion for those of us who are suffering and a great appreciation for all of those who have shown compassion to us and taught us some important life lessons. Keep up the good work . BTW I am currently living with pancreatic cance.
God bless you Paul, I continue to pray for you ❤🙏🏻. You’re such a loving man and still quite handsome! I’ll bet the ladies loved ya back in the day 😊. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories. I grieve for Sarah…such a bright light 😢😢.
What a wonderful story Paul! Thank you for sharing! All my love to Sarahs family, what a remarkable woman ❤
Such a wonderful tribute to sarah. Paul you are so kind and thoughtful. Sending love and prayers from the uk to you, josh and family, kyle, jenny and family and everone else going this nightmare journey. X
I feel so sad for Sarah and her family. I only followed her channel for a month, but even in that short time I feel like I got to know her. What a beautiful story and tribute regarding shaving your head. I am into tarot and recognised your tshirt straight away. If you hadn’t mentioned it I was going to comment on your gorgeous tshirt. RIP Sarah. I painted my nails blue for Sarah. What a legacy she has left behind. “Be Kind and make good choices!” 🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵
Beautiful sentiment Paul but I have to say that looking at your photos you haven't changed a bit...Have always admired Tribal people they are far more sabia than the rest of us!
Love the shaved hair!
Plus your smile is infectious 😌
Paul you are an incredibly interesting, kind and gentle man. Thank you for sharing your story x
Hi Paul, you are such a nice human being,, I am sure, Josh appreciates what you did in Sarahs honor,, I included you in my prayers, hopefully, you will be healed
A beautiful tribute to our dear sweet Sarah and her family💔 thank you Paul for your wonderful video❤
very good
Thank you Paul... Well done and yes thinking of our Sarah and her family... ❤
This was an amazing story Paul, thank you for sharing, Papua sounds amazing, we rarely hear anything about this side of PNG
Even we in western Kenya we do shave our hair when our loved ones die to show respect and morning
Oh wow! I had someone from India indicate that they do that in India too. So it is actually quite a widespread practice. Thank you for that!
Praying for Sarah’s family. I have been following along with her story for quite a while and her inner spirit has really made an impact on me. I also have been following you,Paul, for a few weeks and will continue to send positive energy and prayers your way. Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you much comfort throughout your journey ahead.
Very interesting video! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing those poignant memories, such lovely meaningful stories keep us connected to our past and each other. May Sarah's life live on in the lives of others she touched, and may her family and friends find peace during this difficult time. Thoughts and prayers Meg from FL🙏
What a wonderful video for today. I also have been grieving the loss of Sarah even though I didn't know her personally she made an impact on my life. You are doing the same, Paul. Thank you for sharing yourself and your outlooks on life. We can all learn from each other.
You are amazing and so sensitive. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your oen understanding . In all your ways acknowledge Him and HE will direct your path.
What an incredibly beautiful act. I actually went to Port Moresby when at Sydney Uni. God Bless you Paul and and Sarah's family too.
Port Moresby is quite a trip isn't it! A world away from Sydney.......
@@PaulinPerth Indeed. I lived at International House in Sydney. My friend was from PNG and I went to stay with her and her family. It was one of the highlights of my 2 years Down Under. LOVED your photos!
Thank you Paul. You are kind and very interesting. Take care.💜
🌬❣Paul your soul is Amazing and your ststories are as well.
I think ...no I KNOW WE ARE GOING TO LEARN A LOT WATCHING YOU.
AND I LOVED SARAH AND POG FAMILY JUST AS MUCH AS YOURSELF. I ALSO DID A VIDEO YESTERDAY ABOUT HOW BROKEN MY HEAD IS ABOUT SARAH. BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM EXPRESSING MYSELF YOUR A AMAZING STORY TELLER AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE.
I FEEL YOUR KINDNESS THROUGH THE VIDEOS. AND I'M SO GLAD TO MEET YOU. I TRULY BELIEVE WE ARE ALL STRONGER TOGETHER 🌬💫❣🙏

RIP SARA...condolences pog family
we are in the same boat with regard to our Father's even now i miss him we were always close more like a best mate than a Father is how i would characterize it and i feel you had the same relationship with yours
~~❊💚❊~~
Paul, my partner & I love you here in Wales. We love the vids. Myself, as a songwriter i love your love of words, as a cancer patient I love how emotionally honest you are. We love the shave head story, you're an amazing story teller. We love how u care about Sarah as we do, and guess what we are sending you loads of from Pontypool?... LOVE. ☮️ 💜 🎸 🎸 🎸
Rest in peace Sarah. We loved you so much. We won’t forget you. Thank you Paul for your touching tribute.
Your an amazing man Paul with a beautiful tribute to Sarah. R.I.P. Sarah and I hope you get those 5 + years Paul
We all cared deeply for Sarah as well. She no longer is suffering and allowing cancer to control her life. I am sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks.
Yesterday I said that I was going to hunt out some lavender and this morning I was walking along a roadside and there was some growing which I can tell you isn't normal for the urban area where I live. I brought some home and I hope that as it grows, so will your health. ❤
Thank you. Please let me know how it goes!. Paul.
@@PaulinPerth I will do Paul, your video today was so inspiring, thank you.
I hope you get many more years Paul
We have a lot to learn from tribal people, loved the story of the shaved head
Rest in peace beautiful Sarah, she is now in no pain. Sarah will always be remembered
♥️ Praying today also for Jenny Apple who is going through radiation treatment
🙏
Spread your wings Sarah and soar high😔 Another Vlog ‘Amanda’ has also passed aged just 32. My thoughts are with her family💔 And Paul, just keep being amazing
What a fantastic human being . Such a powerful story and a great tribute to Sarah R.I.P. Peace and Love to you Paul...
I just have to tell you what a fantastic story teller I think you are. Please keep all these brilliant stories about what has happened in your life coming.
I too was so saddened to hear that Sarah had passed. I hope she is flying high with the Angels and watching over her beautiful family
Hi Paul, Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to Sarah, she has changed my way of viewing Life, miss her😢
Paul............. I am soo damn thankful that Sarah and Jenny sent me to you........ You are amazing and I thank you soooo very much for everything you are doing for everyone,,,,,,, HUGE HUGS mate.......
What a beautiful and insightful telling of a powerful tradition. Your tribute to Sarah within that tradition is a deep example of the compassionate man you are. Thank you. ❤
Hello Paul, What a beautiful, human, respectful tradition to shave your head. ❤ We can learn so much from other people.
I loved your story about your shaved head Paul. I to shaved mine 22 years ago when I started chemo. I felt empowered by shaving my own head before chemo had the chance to take it. It did break my heart though as it was long and beautiful. There were many advantages as a naked head under a shower feels wonderful, I could also get ready in a fraction of the time as long hair takes time and effort. We can always find some good out of every situation. Anyway hair all long and grown back now. Thank You again Paul for the wonderful advice you share with us all. You stay strong. Love and light from Sunny South Africa. 🤗😽😽😽😽😽😽💕
My goodness, Paul, that was just wonderful - happy and sad in equal measures. I have alopecia and when there was a bit of hair left, I arranged to have it shaved off to raise funds for alopecia UK. No one in my life had died, but I was grieving for something special that I had lost - my life before alopecia. Your story about the reason for those who shave their head in Papua New Guinea was very moving as is your own gesture of love and care to the POG family. Sending much love x
You did well Paul. Thank you. RIP Beautiful Sarah and prayers of comfort I send to her family. ❤
Amazing time in your life, thankyou so much for sharing with us all....I feel so much sadness when you speak of your father....I am still fortunate to have my dad, and at 81 he is still amazing....dearest Sarah is now at peace, and taken the rotten cancer and kicked it to the kurb...your tribute is profound and very special, I truly hope you are a miracle....keep smiling.
What a wonderfully human and humane story. You have a real gift of curiosity and observation wrapped in a powerful storyteller’s voice. Peace and love ❤️
RIP Sarah. Miss her so much.❤🎉 She was such a sweetheart.
Paul just remember, at some stage you may need to take a break from watching others fighting cancer for your own mental health and your own fight in this
I’m finding cancer and death is a time for caring and learning.
I never have expected that this time in life with internet would bring so many caring people together to show love and compassion.
I’m so moved by your teachings. Thank you for sharing.
Paul, what a beautiful and thoughtful tribute to Sarah and her family, you are a unique soul.
I learned about Sarah’s passing about 3:00am, it broke my heart.
Stay “human” ♥️🌹
That was lovely. I really enjoyed hearing a bit about the culture in Papua New Guinea and also your tribute to Sarah. Sarah was a very special lady. I will never forget her and neither, I suspect, will the 30K plus people that Sarah attracted to her channel. Life will go on, and so will Sarah’s legacy.
Thank you. I needed that.
Paul, your posts are so life affirming. I wish I'd had a community like this when my beautiful husband died in 2004.
What a beautiful video, Paul. I loved your story and how you honored Sarah. Very kind of you. You are a wonderful storyteller and you just always make me smile! Loved seeing all your old photos. Sending you lots of love. ❤
She tried so hard. Cancer doesn't care how hard you try unfortunately. A very loving and healthy family, they will go on. You have lived some extraordinary life experiences Paul! This vlog was a very nice tribute. Thank you 😊
What a beautiful tribute for Sarah 🦋 Thank you Paul for sharing your story about shaving your head and the culture you learned behind it. Accepting mortality is always a very difficult reality. Sending healing light and love to everyone in need. 💜
Beautiful tribute Paul, Sarah will always shine brightly in my heart. Stay strong ❤❤
I love how you honored Sarah and her family by shaving your head. It was a very lovely and meaningful story. In the Jewish religion, we wear a black ribbon (years ago they just tore your clothing) on our clothes for 30 days, (for the same reasons) the grave stones are covered with a white cloth and at a year after passing, the family, friends and rabbi gather at the grave and tear off the cloth. You are now free from any mourning rituals etc… I like you Paul, have never gotten over the death of my parents. More recently my dad since his death in 2020 from Covid, (he was my best friend) You honored Sarah and Josh in a profound and loving way. You are quite special Paul! We also say in the Jewish religion, may Sarah’s memory be for a blessing. We do this by speaking her name, by remembering her and by carrying on her legacy.
Sir, I am in awe of you. The lessons continue. As we mourn for Sarah you are teaching us how to mourn for you.
Sending you love and prayers from Chicago.
You are such an amazing man and you are truly appreciated by us all. Thanks so much for being a great human being
You are such a sensitive, warm, dear man. I wish that the disease will be pushed back and come to a standstill. Every year there are new research successes. With your attitude you can do it! Try not to worry so much. We love you. 💚❤💚❤💚❤🥰❤💚❤💚❤💚
You knocked this one out of the park! 😊 #swingforsarah
Whole heartedly appreciate your gesture towards a fellow human.❤❤
I hope Sarah's family gets through the grief and comes out with the ability to smile again.
It is a fairly common practice to shave one's head upon a family member's death as a mark of remembrance, tribute to the deceased in most parts of India as well.
The thought process of the New Guinean people is beautiful! In India, one more thing is, that the person is cremated, the ashes are sent off to the vastness of ocean (Via the local river) and the hair are sent off with the ashes. It is supposed to symbolize that the person didn't go alone. I little bit of YOU went off with them in spirit.
The practice was nice when there were more rivers and few people. Now that there are fewer rivers and more people (Specially in India!) the practice has become a problem for the environment.
Shaving your head to signify the passing of a loved one is a lovely cultural practice, and I'm glad there it occurs in multiple countries and cultures. Thank you for educating me on the Indian practices. Paul.
Oh paul, how did you keep a straight face when telling us the name of the village you visited. We have to keep the humour going at times like this. Sending all my love from uk. X
Thank you, Paul for such a interesting story. And thank you for such a beautiful tribute to Sarah, and the rest of the Pog family. Much love and light from NC, USA
What a beautiful tribute all the way from Australia about beautiful Sarah. You are such a kind, beautiful soul Paul. Prayers sent your way for recovery in your journey. Love from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA
That is a beautiful tribute ,Paul !! RIP Sarah 🌹 ! ❤from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Lillian 🌹🌹
❤ Hello paul what a lovely tribute to sarah. She will always be remembered.
Another powerful speech, I love the story of head shaving, it says everything. I am so sorry to hear of Sarah passing, but now she has no pain and at peace. You are kind and you make good choices ❤ Stay strong
What an emotionel tribute to Sarah. You are an incredible caring and kind guy ,and also very interesting.
Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you, Paul for sharing your life with beautiful lessons in love and traditions. What a lovely way to honor our beloved Sarah's passing and the difficult journey her loved ones will be on without her physically here. Also Jenny who is still fighting. You are a very special man. Much love, Paul.❤🌻
WOW what a beautiful story and sentiment, thank you for sharing this with us Paul and for your wonderful compassion for others. Yes, we're all mourning the loss of Sarah, and reeling the news that Jenny has limited time too, so your emotional tribute to these two beautiful souls is a comfort and a joy...bless your heart!
Another video full of truth, of esteem, of humor and love ❤
Such beautiful humanity and love emanates from this video, Paul. I loved learning about the head shaving ritual and symbology. It makes such sense and interesting to think of then how it relates to hair loss from chemo. I liked the feeling of not having hair too but there is such vulnerability w it where I remember even wearing a soft cap at night to stay warm. Hope your day is good. ❤
Beautiful tribute! And very powerful story! You’ve had an interesting life.
You’re a natural storyteller Paul
and your vulnerability is inspirational ❤
A beautiful tribute to Sarah.
What a lovely, lovely man. ❤
What a beautiful story and tradition. I lost my dad in 2005. My step dad (cancer) 7 years ago. My mom (cancer) July 11. I still mourn my dad and step dad. Yes life goes on, yes the world keeps turning. We just learn how to live them in our hearts rather than in our lives. I will mourn my mom as long as it takes and learn to live with her in my heart. Sarah was a lovely person and she will be missed by many but I look forward to the POG family's journey. I look forward to seeing them grow in strength and love. Keep speaking life over yourself. This is my favorite video of yours so far. Would love to see/hear more stories from your past.
I think when you get a diagnosis of of being terminal, it makes things a lot more real and a lot more tangible on the flipside of things anyone and everyone, regardless of age and health status, and all the things to go to bed, one night, fall asleep, and never wake up in the morning. The one thing about being diagnosed with a terminal illness is that you have the chance to make things right you have a chance to get your affairs in order and make sure all your paperwork is right you have a chance to contact people and you have the contact chance to forgive and except and all the things. Watching these videos is a life lesson learned to those of us who don’t have a terminal illness, but we may in the future. We may have on right now not even know, but it doesn’t matter what matters is that we make the proper amends now, and take care of business now, even if we are healthy individual 12:30
I already knew the deeper meaning of shaving the head. I didn ´t follow Sarah as long as Jenny, but I learned, that the Pogfamily is a very loving family and my heart aces for their lost. I pray you wan ´t have to shave your head for Jenny. Ím so down to know how bad she is this week, but I understand Kyle when he sais that she „is okay“. I know that she and you need all our prayers! ❤
Sarah has been in my thoughts all day, bless her and love and light to her wonderful family who will be in a hell on earth over their loss of Sarah, a rare and beautiful angel 😢
This was a very interesting story. Thank you so much for sharing with us. It’s always good to learn traditions of others, especially the simpler people they have so much more to offer than those of complex individuals! I heard about Sarah as well yesterday. May she rest in peace and thank you for shaving your head in honor of Sarah
Love to Sarah’s family. And thank you for sharing your story and photos. You have such a big heart.
Love the statement about two deaths. One when the body ceases to be and the second is when ther person’s name ceases to be. We can carry that name forward forever! Sarah POG will go on and on and on! Side note, seeing your head shaved actually also gave me a Sinead O’Connor vibe. Here’s to her name being carried forward forever in recognizing mental health struggles as well as fighting child abuse wherever and in whatever institution we find it.
What a beautiful story Paul. I absolutely love the meaning behind the tradition. I thought of you when I heard about Sarah's passing. RIP Sarah
You are a great storyteller Paul x
Such a beautiful tribute to Sarah❤ Thankyou Paul
Oh Paul, you are so easy to love. You are kind and you do make good choices. Just thank you for being there, in all our hearts.
( PS: you=handsome 😉)
I also felt like the shirt was a representation that love has no race, no color.... powerful image
@@nathalieethier6552 Ah, yes. I hadn't considered that. No gender even.
Paul you are an amazing human being and I love watching your updates ❤ very sad for the pog family and glad she's not in any more pain.
I helped nurse my dad with cancer for 2 years and he wanted me to give him a overdose, very emotional time ,he was 56 when he passed and I was happy because he could finally rest ..no one should suffer like that 😔....fantastic pics by the way Paul x
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing your love and respect for the POG Family
You're an incredible human Paul. This was the perfect story at the perfect time.
