Hi all…

Hoping for some guidance and advice. My partner is Australian and we currently live with our young daughter in the North East of England. My father in law has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma and is starting immunotherapy on Thursday. He seems to have been caught early as is only in one lung. My husband is trying to decide if he should try to get to Oz now, but with covid and quarantine it’s sooooo difficult. His mum and dad are being so strong and positive but don’t want to ask any questions about time frames etc and we are a little unsure of what to expect. His dad seems so well the moment, is still fit and in work. I asked my mother in law what the aim of the treatment is and she said they don’t know as they don’t want to ask and his dad keeps telling us he will be cured. I completely understand the need to be positive but it’s so hard for us to make an informed decision about getting to Oz, the cost of a flight (if we can get one) and the quarantine is so much and it’s all so heartbreaking that we can’t easily be there right now. Thanks for listening, x
