Paula , I am glad that Dad is home but sad to read that Chemo is not working, he sounds like a real trouper moving the Wendy House with all of his problems it just shows the strength of character that he has.

Thinking of you. X

Update Dad has seemed more like his old self.He was told thur the cancer has spread and is in his bones too which i suspected,Radiotherapy at another hospital is being arranged for a weeks course,We are taking things as they come and mum shows amazing positivity although this must be terribly hard for them both xx

your Dad has been putting up a terrific fight against small cell PCa, he is one tough Man. I am sure the love, support and help he gets from you and your Mum, friends and family is a big help.

I hope the next treatment provides more relief

Best wishes

Hi Paula

good to read your update Mum and Dad are being so positive no matter what is being thrown at them hope the RTH helps with the spread to the bones..

You are a great help to your Dad no need to tell you that Carolann was always there for Eric with their wicked sence of humour he hated the looking for symphathy route.

Sending you best wishes to you and family

I have been thinking of you Paula , it is good to hear that your Dad is more like his old self and that both Mum and Dad are being positive. I hope the RT gives relief . As Mo says you are such a supportive daughter and I suspect that both your Mum and Dad know just how special you are.

Im sure they find me a bit of a pain to be honest as i would love to wrap them in cotton wool ha ha.Seeing them both going through the chemo and ops has been hard.I would do anything to take their pain away.
I agree carol we used to push each other around in mums wheel chair when she had one in her sitting room.Mum laughed so much when her stitches were taken out from major abdo surgery her wound undid like a zip !! so she was rushed off in an ambulance and we were told not to worry.
thanks everyone and i hope they win something on the Grand national and you guys too xxx

sad times this week .Dad called to say the cancer has spread and radiotherapy is palliative.
He has spoken to all his adult children and may have to stop driving,The cancer is in his ribs and spine too.I had pretty much guessed this would be the news but its still heartbreaking.He told one sibling he has felt like he was dying for a while now and it is a relief almost to hear it has.
I/ we will do all we can for him and he will get asigned to the hospice at home nurses again.
i know he has had longer than many with this blooming aggressive type and cannot imagine him not dashing around and driving everywhere xx Counting my blessings he has had some cancer freetime.

My heart goes out to you and your family it is so sad when the disease progresses beyond the treatable.

Your Dad is a brave man and he will deal with all that comes with terrific dignity. The hospice team will help all of you as well.

If there is anything you want to ask or talk about please ask away I will do my very best to answer you honestly and with empathy.

You have and continue to be a wonderful and supportive daughter

Bless you for that.

Xx

Mo
