On Thursday my OH had an emergency scan as he has been suffering from severe headaches and a loss of vision for the past few weeks. Friday we were called in to see our GP who told us that the scan showed that his cancer has now spread to a third site and a brain tumour has now been detected. If there is a  bed available on Monday he is being admitted to Bart's hospital in London to undergo some palliative radiotherapy.

He has been on a new chemo drugs trial for the past year but, sadly, it has not been able to stop the spread of his cancer. Having fought so hard, and for so long, this has come as a bitter blow to us all and I am finding this really hard to cope with this time around.

We were hoping that he could receive his treatment locally but that wasn't possible so now have a 3 hour journey each way - and I have to drive in central London which I loathe doing anyway .

Positive healing thoughts are much needed :)

Oh no. All positive thoughts coming your way. I am so sorry to hear that.

Positive thoughts on their way to you. xx

I am so sorry :( My thoughts are with you both X

Terribly sorry. Positive thoughts here...

Positive thoughts on their way to you.

Thank you all for your positive thoughts - some of which have already worked their magic in that Barts rang us this morning to say they have managed to arrange for Steve's radiotherapy to be started at one of our local hospitals - so I won't have to drive through London until next week at the earliest. They are going to do shared care so will have to attend both hospitals at some point but the majority of the treatment will hopefully be local which just makes life so much easier for us.

Our nearest local hospital is just 12 miles away so I will be able to go back and forth to see to Harley without having to rely too much on other people being around to look after him for us :) Steve goes in tomorrow morning to start his treatment and then we will know a bit more about what the next few weeks will entail.

Thank you all so much for your support :)
Lizzie

Such a difficult time for you both.
Thinking of you and praying for the best outcome.

Tend not to post on these threads though I do always send positive thoughts and for what their worth prayers.  Be strong.

Sending positive thoughts.
