Well, we have seen the Oncologist and what a lovely man he is.
For the first time in 3 months we have had some relatively good news.
He told us that he though hubby would respond well to Chemo and hopefully start him in the next couple of weeks. He said that in his opinion he should have a better quality of life and his prognosis would be be increased from 3-4 months if they do nothing to 12 months plus.
He will start him on 3 sessions of 3 week duration, first day will be 4 - 5 hours on intravenus infusion plus tablets followed by the remainder of the 21 days on tablets twice daily. It is going to be fairly radical treatment but he was pretty confident that it would shrink the tumour and give him back some better quality of life.
Of course we are in no doubt it will be rough going during the Chemo but if it works we will have him with us for a longer period.
Please keep you fingers crossed for us.
Hugs Hazel
