Hi everyone
I'm sorry to have to tell you that Annette and her husband Vince have both been diagnosed with Covid 19. That's the diagnosis that no one who is living with an incurable cancer wants to be receiving. Understandably, they are both quite ill. Vince was first to go down with it, followed a couple of days later by Annette. Vince had a horrible cough and both are suffering from bones being painful and sweating. Annette describes the illness thus: W H A M!!! It hits you, knees shaking, sweating by just the effort to stand up, so you go to the toilet then straight back to bed. We are both the same with very sore back, ribs etc. Nothing usually floors me like this! That's seven days tomorrow I've been in bed.
Now I'm not what you would call a particularly religious man but since Annette emailed me about Vince and then a couple of days later gave me the news that she herself had gone down with Covid 19, I've been praying every day for both of them.
Peggy, Annette has been asking me how you are so you can be sure that I'll let her know.
Take care and stay safe everyone

Hi Annette
I think I have accepted your friend request.I’m ok just a shame I didn’t get a good result with the chemo.I had a call on Monday not much different I asked about trials and she said not any here but told me I could go on line and see if there is any other places.Not sure how I do this or which one suits.I did ask if any other treatment but I think they are waiting to see if I am getting stronger after the chemo.She was a bit vague so if there isn’t I am going to ask for a second opinion.I am feeling a lot better but having problems with my legs.GP put me on water tablets which has helped but they still swell when I stand.My breathing isn’t so good but I get around.
Hope you and your husband are feeling better.Let’s hope thing get better next year.
Thank you for asking about me it means a lot.
Thank you Annette I have just seen your post I think I am missing them somehow.Well I did find it strange when she told me to look for the trial as I am not sure if I am doing it right or what I am oking for.I think I will ask my nurse as you said and see what she says.I haven’t asked about the second opinion yet I will wait for the next call.Im just hoping the cancer isn’t growing to fast I spose at least my head scan was clear.Mind I had to ring my nurse because she didn’t tell me at the meeting and at the time I forgot.Its a shame I don’t see my oncologist I see different Ones on the am and I think it’s harder because you are not use to them.
