My gorgeous Sam died on the 10th December. He had just started another round of daily radiotherapy for 5 days and I think he couldn't face it. On the evening of his first treatment within half an hour of me ordering, as instructed, the last christmas present for his daughter he became confused and seemed to be suffering from the effects of too much medication even though it had not changed.
