Hi everyone, 

thank you so much for your kind words and support.  My husband is still receiving treatment but for how much longer remains to be seen. Doctors are talking about seeing how he responds over the next few days. If he continues to go up and down, by that I mean ok one day and spikes in temperature the next, they plan to stop treatment and make plans for palliative care at home. I am praying that he can make it home even for a day or two, so long as he is aware of being home. After I had a bit of a breakdown at the hospital today they agreed to give him pain meds every four hours without him having to ask. Two hourly top up if he needs them. They were expecting him to ask for meds even though he has not got the strength to press the call button. The matron admitted that even if he were to call the nurses get busy and may forget to give him the meds. Having it written on his notes as routine means he should get what he needs regularly avoiding breakthrough pain. please pray, if you believe, for him to make it home before the final whistle blows. xx
