Thank you all for your good wishes and kind words. Unfortunately the results were worse than expected and a shock.
I went to pick my dad up this afternoon, he had been sleepy all day and quite breathless.
The oncologist said that it was not good news that the cancer had continued to spread even through 3 doses of the chemotherapy. His liver has been more affected and he commented on how my dad did not have a yellow colour to his eyes or skin surprisingly.
The kidney area is being pushed up by the cancer to the prostrate which will cause further issues.
He did advise he would speak to his colleagues at the Bobby Robson Foundation regarding any trials that may be running, however, if his liver or kidney function were a problem they would not let him take part. My dad asked to be considered, as he said if it didn't help him it may help others. He had a blood test to check these functions so we await those results. They checked his oxygen level and it was 91 they said they preferred it to be 95 or over, so we need to keep an eye.
We were told that it was down to the GP and his Macmillan to care for him. So I will be contacting both in the morning to ensure he gets everything he needs.
He is such an amazing man so calm and dignified throughout, I really couldn't be prouder. The oncologist continues to say that it is not the treatment that keeps him well but his will and his positivity.
He went to bed when he got in and slept he was so tired which is quite unlike him. While I went to my best friend's house and broke my heart, as I would never cry in front of him.
We have a follow up appointment to assess things in July but the oncologist said that at this stage he did not want him wasting one of his good days at the clinic or equally going when he is unwell.
I really wish there was something else we could do, but it would seem unless there is a miracle trial that would be prepared to take him on, this will not be the case.
Thank you again to all you kind and brave people.
