We had a appointment with the pain clinic this afternoon at the local hospice. They are going to try putting dad on a short burst of steroids to see if that helps his pain, his is in a lot of pain just now. I saw him when we was with the doctor the pain was winding him so I told her and she managed to get a couple of his breakthrough tablets for him. She took blood tests and hopefully we should get the results tomorrow, she said that if he needed any treatment in hospital she could arrange for him to go in there to receive the treatment. Again just more waiting, he is fading in front of my eyes, I didnt think he could loose any more weight but he has, his face is pale and grey its just so horrible, its ripping me apart.
