Dads had another motivated day and ate 3 meals even wanted a Chinese for tea , I honestly don’t no we’re this has come from but I’m loving seeing this change in him ! It’s really odd things have suddenly changed since the other night 

he had a massive bout of dihoria , sorry for the information but he was on the toilet a long time said he felt all bunged up prior to this , was of his food really tired and low mood , and since going he’s been a different person .. drinking more eating more talking more even said he fancied a shower ( something he’s been to weak to do ) 

even if it’s a few good days it’s making me feel like a daughter again and not a carer ! 

tomorrow dad has a consultation over the phone with his cancer specialist about the findings of his ct scan 4 weeks ago , following that will be his mri scan on the 27th 

I honestly think after this will come some sort of treatment plan …. Well I pray that’s the case , I no my dads prostate cancer has spread to his hip and spine but …. I pray there is something out there that can get him mobile and not in this depressed state 

thankyou , just thought I would share some positivity while I’m experiencing it .. I will sleep tonight knowing dads are something and drank 

  • This is indeed good news. I’m so glad he’s bounced back to himself a bit more and that you can put down the gloves and be his wee girl.

    Thanks for reporting the good news.

  • Hello  

    Thank you for the update. Now he's feeling better and eating, let's hope he can keep the positive attitude going and he gets to his MRI scan on 27 December.

  • Hi  very encouraging and sounds like it was the UTI causing the problem.  Maybe you can start to look forward to the Christmas break.  Hope you slept well.

    Best wishes, David
