Had a terrible weekend, phoned specialist nurse at hospital who is arranging a scan but dont know how long that will take. Has said if he gets worse to take him to A n E but Ed hates it there and knows they will put him on ward 34 which is the pits.

Have a feeling we have done this before. Last August ed started having similar pain but went in denial.

Ed had 1 cycle of chemo but then his bloods were down so he couldnt carry on straight away even though he was already feeling the benefit of chemo and starting to eat a bit better. The…
