That's a lovely site you have created there Lynne. I'm so sorry for your loss of Andrew especially at such a young age, it's so unfair. I agree, this much loved site is a wonderful way to share thoughts and photos about our loved ones and perhaps helps with the grieving process too. Best wishes Steve

Thanks again people for your kind thoughts and wishes. I'm feeling a bit better now so here goes. Ironically, the primary cause of death was Broncopneumonia. Dad had been fine with the first two chemo sessions, then the 3rd was delayed due to a chest infection. Following a course of anti biotics the...

So sorry to hear of your loss, I lost my Dad yesterday too.

Thanks for your condolences everyone. Our Dad was taken from us far too soon, I will post more info when I've been to the hospital to discuss the cause of death etc. I am so upset, it's only the practical side of things serving as a distaction that is keeping me together right now. Dont worry though...

Thanks for the advice folks. Dad is improving a bit each day and will be reviewed again on Monday by the doctor. I just hope he can get strong enough to come home again sometime soon. We are trying to contact the Macmillan nurses again, Mum called them yesterday but got an answerphone message that t...

Slightly better news now that Dad was moved from the Acute Medical Unit to a normal ward while we were there this afternoon. He is awake and more lucid although a bit confused and has been rather delusional and even a bit violent last night apparently.(Not like him at all). Rather frustrated that he...

Things were going quite well but Dad has been feeling very poorly this week. He called the hospital yesterday to talk to them and they sent an out of hours doctor out to see him. The outcome is that he is ok but it is the treatment that is making him feel very tired & dizzy and his appetite being ve...

Dad had his first infusion of chemo yesterday afternoon at about 5pm and I'm pleased to report he has had no ill effects at all so far. He woke up this morning feeling the same as he had the previous morning and at the time of writing is feeling fine, I know there may be delayed reactions but this i...

Ok, we went to see the nurse for the info session today and we now have an appointment on Thurs for the first infusion itself. We are now told it will be a three week on, one week off course, on the fouth week Dad will see the Oncologist again to review progress. The nurse gave us lots of written in...

Thanks for that Jeni ^

Thanks Laura81 for the names of the drinks & powders. We now have a date next week for Dad's info session re the chemo, dont know how long we'll have to wait for the chemo itself, hopefully not another 2 weeks.. We were first given the bad news that Dad had 'likely' got PC on the 1st December, but i...
