So we had Tony's latest CT scan results today and as expected his cancer has progressed quite significantly in his liver and it's likely that his inability to eat and loss of appetite is probably down to the cancer burden..so together with the oncologist Tony has decided no more treatment is viable as he is so frail it would do more harm than good..so we are now being referred to the Community Palliative Team and Hospice for symptom management...Tony has told me he isn't scared and is being very stoic and as he said it ain't over till it's over plus he said he was sick of everybody nagging him about his eating so he can now do what he wants..for my part it was what I expected and it's a relief to know that I have support when things do get worse but as the oncologist said Tony seems relatively stable at the minute and the cancer isn't particularly aggressive so we take each day as it comes...I feel awkward putting less than positive news up as everybody is at different points of their journey as I dont want to put people back mentally but I couldn't be more proud of Tony at the moment...sending love and positivity to all you warriors and your carers...keep going...xx
Hi ellen93.
I feel your post is very appropriate, brave and balanced. Nothing to feel awkward about.
For me personally, your pragmatism and underlying strength shine through and posts like yours are helpful to others.
Sending you and Tony a big virtual hug.
