finally said it!

Less than one minute read time.

Just had mum on the phone to tell me how dad got on today at the hospital.  Consultant was very surprised and pleased to see how well he looks on sutent this time, he siad that despite what they say about not being able to go back on this drug once you've been on some of the others he's going to ignore it and keep dad on.  That was the good news - why does this always seem to come with a but...............

Although the xrays showed that there has been no change in the size of the tumour, its not shrinking either and he then finally said "you know we can't cure this".  The words I knew but never wanted to hear.

Don't know how I feel as I write this, no tears, no anger, just nothing.  For weeks I have been going on as normal, as if this just wan't happening.

    hey christine , maybe you realise that no matter how much you worry and cry and get down, it wont change a thing.....knowing that can be a big help in making you feel calm...it works for me anyway....if i worry i will feel bad......and nothing will change only i will feel worse if i worry....

    i hope everything turns out as good as possible for you and your dad etc

    =======================

    argo....

    going on as normal is a good thing if possible though it isnt so easy ..infact it must be harder for carers at times...

    hope everything go`s as good as possible...

    Hi Christine ! what Graeme's said makes good sense its hard i Know, I lost my mum with Colon cancer i was walking about in a dream world maybe that was the way i coped with it ! kept things  has normal as i could for her and my family too ! she was a brave lady ! although most probably older than your pops ! she was 78 and very frail ! Now i have my darling husband with bladder cancer and over the past 6 months been in that same dream. So have faith and just do your best for them ! it seems you are doing that already!! God bless x
