Hi,
Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but we've had some bad news. After the results of Daniel's PeT scan after his round of treatment at Christmas, the doctors told him that they were no longer treating to cure his cancer, but to prolong his life. They also said he could have as little as two years to live.
Daniel, being Daniel, hasn't let even this affect him. He's still totally motivated, loving life and happy. He's looking into alternative therapies and he said to me 'Well, doctors have been wrong before'.
In the mean time, cancer's actually been showing him a pretty good time. He was given tickets by Teens Unite to see Coldplay at Wembley and CLIC Sargent paid for he and Evie to go on a 5 star mini break. And he got to ride to the airport in a flash car! He's so grateful for the amazing experiences he's had.
The results of his most recent PeT scan revealed he had no new tumours and that the malignancy of his current tumours has significantly reduced after two rounds of chemo. He's going to have two more rounds and then they'll check again.
Honestly if anyone can beat this it's him, but right now I'm really struggling to remain optimistic and I feel so guilty about that because who am I to let it bring me down?! If Daniel manages to smile through it and remain positive, why can't I?
