things not so good

Sorry to hear that Jill, I hope he is feeling a bit better now, maybe just a day of rest will help sort out his knee.  Its only natural he will be thinking all sorts, we all do it don't we.

Take care

Hi Jill, Sorry to hear Peter is not too well. Do you think maybe he has been overdoing it a bit?

I know from my own experience that I wake up some days thinking I`ve conquered this disease and don`t feel as though I am ill....next day I wake up with aches and pains and feel dreadful!

Has he taken any painkillers? This can usually help!

Also have you been in touch with your local Hospice as they can and will do an awful lot to help you both through this terrible journey.

I was advised by a McMillan Cancer nurse to contact my local hospiice and they have been absolutely marvellous in offering us support. They will send a nurse to visit Peter and you at home. They will give you advice as to what financial support you could get

and they will contact you every week to give you help & support.

After about 6 weeks of weekly visits they asked me if I`d like to attend the Hospice Day Centre on a Fri.

They send a Car to pick me up and I spend the morning making Greetings Cards or Painting.

We have a 3 course Lunch at 12 Noon and then sit and Chat with around 12 other Cancer patients and

a driver takes me home at 3 p.m. It`s really a great day out and I look forward to it every Fri.

People think when the word Hospice is mentioned that is the `last chance saloon`. Believe me It`s NOT!!!!!

The staff and Volunteers are there to make you feel loved and welcome and do everything in their power

to make sure that you do.

They will also support you Jill as a Carer, for they recognise that your life has been seriously affected by Peter`s illness and they can offer you a load of help and advice.

I do hope this is just a temporary `bleep` and Peter is

feeling better by the time you get this.

If I can help in any way ...Please do not hesitate to ask.

Kindest regards to you both.

Hi Jill,

Glad to hear Peter is feeling better! It`s amazing what a difference a day makes! We all have our ups and downs.

I`ve had a visit from the Hospice Home Visitor today and we have had a nice Chat. He`s a volunteer day visitor and calls to see me once a fortnight usually about 03 p.m.

I look forward to his visit and it brighten`s up the day. My P.S.A. has now reduced to 89 which although still very high is better than 727 at diagnosis.

Kind regards to you both

Alex & Pat
