Dad has now had 4 rounds of chemo , this last one has really affected him .
They have decided to give him a further 2 treatments along with his radio but he is considering not taking the final chemo session as he has found it incredibly hard to bear.
There's a small part of me that thinks quality of life is more important , he needs to be active and happy and if that is what he chooses for however long he can do it then I will stand by him and his choices.
The good weather has been a boost at times , we were able to sit out in the garden on sunday and enjoy some wine and company though dad was unable to get up before 2pm , the recovery is getting longer and harder. He's also had a severe throat infection that's knocked him even further sideways.
There are many family issues , people treading on toes , oversensitivity , contempt and animosity in small small doses. People around who would NEVER have been around otherwise and we all grin and bare it for his sake, he's worth it.
