Hi Sandy, so sorry to read this. Thinking of you and your family at this time. Glad the MacMillan nurses are doing their best to keep you comfortable.

Oh Sandy, I am devastated for you all. Your cancer has just been so persistent and Heaven knows, you have tried everything offered to you.

I am reminded of an old member, Alathays, who was diagnosed at age 51 I think, and also tried every drug and trial going but nothing worked for long. As he was nearing the end stages, he would often say that he wasn't ready to go - one more cruise, one more trip, one more trip to the rugby club. As he often said, it isn't over till the fat lady sings. I hope that the fat lady is locked in someone's cellar right now and you have a bit more time x

Hi Phil.


Sorry to hear of your problems with meds.You have posted on Sandys thread who found the Macmillan nurses helpful with pain relief while on this treatment.You are likely to get a better response if you post this as a new thread otherwise it will get overlooked by many in the community who may have some helpful advice to offer.Stay strong.


Kind Regards


Norm
