Dear All,

Karen has asked me to post the latest on Barry:

Barry has been sleeping for the last 2 days. They put a syringe driver up today.

We managed to get him home on Sunday for about 40 minutes.

He was a bit spaced out but saw the wet room, sat in his chair and fiddled with the TV (and told me off as there is no sky sports now!), told my dad we need a Ramp at the back and a handrail out the front of the house then had an ice cream.

It was enough to settle his mind and he has been sleeping fairly peacefully since then.

I can't wish for more than that George. If he is peaceful and not in pain then I am content with that. I know now it is just a matter of time and I will be in touch again soon. Please will you pass this news on for me on both sites.

Thanks everyone,

Karen

A bit of me is still amazed and proud that TG kept the upper hand and kicked cancer's butt for the best part of 15 years. But right now I am just really angry that his decline has been so rapid and so hard for him to bear. His pain is being controlled now, thank God, but he has suffered unnecessarily for some months. We don't only need more funding into the causes and treatments of PCa; we should also be putting pressure on the government (and PCUK) to increase funding for research - and dare I say awareness-raising for medical staff - on the less common presentations of late stage disease (such as falling PSA and non-bone pain) as well as palliative care services.

Devastated to say that Barrington Newman slipped away from us at 1.40 this afternoon.
