Wednesday 11 March we got the sad news that colin is not getting anymore chemo and there's nothing else to be done for him. No other drug or RT and there's no trials available for his sarcoma. Because he doesn't want to know how long or how short his time is means we don't either. We're in a limbo-land and will see our Macmillan nurse on Monday. We wanted to be in our 70's at least before anything like this happened.
Hi BootsyD
I have been where you are since October 2019. Its my dad.
Even now we still don't know who long he has although the hospice has told us it is just days. I don't really know what else it is I can say.
I agree I wanted at least another 5 years with my dad before this.
I you need a rant or just a chat. I am here. I will do the same if that is ok.
Wow!! Since October that's good. We keep thinking it's going to happen anytime, especially when he starts coughing and feels breathless. He is a worrier at the best of times. I am ok to read your rants too.
Regards BootsyD
