We have a date for the Pre-Assessment to Chemo

Hi Everyone

Firstly, thank you to all who have passed on their thoughts and good wishes for my hubby.

We now have a date for his pre-assessment and blood tests prior to the commencement of his Chemo, it is Tuesday 7 August and hopefully the Chemo should start within 48 hours.  It cannot start soon enough for us now as it seems to have taken so long to get to this stage.

To think the at the beginning of April he was cutting down 12 foot high Conifer trees at our daughters, now he cannot even lift the chain saw he used then.  This is getting him down and says he is feeling so useless.

I keep telling him - don't beat yourself up about it just accept that some days are going to be bad, but he will also have some good days.  Also if the Chemo works his quality of life should improve a great deal.

We all are living in hope that the cancer can be steered into remission for as long as possible, the Dr told us that an operation was not on the cards at the present time - does this mean that at a later date after the Chemo they maybe able to operate!! - we can hope.

Hugs to you all from Hazel
