Hi Janice, Glad your hubby is feeling a little better the last few days. Hope you managed to have good day yesturday xx

Hi all, had a quiet but nice Christmas and our Daughter managed to get up for a few days which was lovely. Unfortunately Hubbys eating is getting worse and he is hardly eating anything, so they have bought his c.t. scan forward to take a look at what is going on. He has no apetite and only has something because he knows he should, but it leaves him uncomfortable and feeling bad. He has fortisip drinks now which he likes but even they can make him feel bad. We will wait and see what is said, worrying though.

Hello Janice. Lovely to hear from you again. Pleased your Christmas was peaceful and that your daughter spent time with you both. But I'm really sorry your husband is struggling now with his eating. I dont know how you are managing to cope with it all, to be honest. I guess you just have to. But you seem to be staying fairly positive - at least you are giving us that impression. Take care of yourself too. Thats important.

All good wishes to you both,

Robert

Hi all, poor Hubby is in hospital again. He had to go in as in alot of pain and they are keeping him in over night to try and get pain management under control. He had a c.t. scan yesterday, and we are awaiting the results. Have been at the hospital all day, been home about an hour, just having a cuppa then bed. To be honest it was such a relief to let the professiolnals take over as I was so worried didn't know what to do. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow.

Hello Janice. Lovely to hear from you again but I so wish it were better news. I do hope your husband gets his pain management sorted and that he is home with you again very soon. It must be so hard for you right now. I am also having a cup of tea right now. Funny how a cup of tea always helps a little......

You can never drink too much tea or have too many friends.

Take care,

Robert

Hubby is home and on morphine so feeling much better and pain free. We have an appointment at the hospital next week and should get the results and see whats causing the pain, but in the mean time I'm so glad they have got the pain under control.

That's good news Janice

[Janice Kathleen]

Not good news on the c.t.scan results i'm afraid. My Hubby has to have yet more chemo just waiting for a line to be put in as his veins are not good. We were told this is how it will be from now on the chemo is keeping him alive and they warned that eventually it will become less and less effective. We are a bit shellshocked at the moment and finding it hard to come to terms with again.I must say though he is not so well as he was, but keeps fighting on, but we are fighting a losing battle unfortunately. He is so brave although he wouldn't say that. We are just making the most of every minute we have together.

Dear Janice. I am so very sorry to hear that things are not good. I think you have both been so very brave throughout all of this. Yes, you included. And the bond of love between you is very clear. It is hard to know what to say at this time. Nothing I say, or anyone else, can change things. I know that you are making the very best of the time you have together.

I know that other carers will soon add to my thoughts and good wishes. We are all wanting to support you the best we can. I am so very, very sorry. Thank you so much for sharing this. It could not have been easy. I know you will do your best to remain strong.

In my thoughts are prayers.

Robert
