John is to start his Chemo at 2pm on Friday but only on 2 drugs now and not 3. The third one would damage his Liver too much so they have withdrawn that. He is to have 2 cycles and then the Oncologist will decide whether or not he can continue. It will all depend on how he copes with any side effects and if there is a good response.
We will live in hope that this will slow things down and allow them to keep trying to shrink the tumours.
He is very down tonight but that is understandable and it has really brought it home to us that this really is his last chance, if this does not work then it is all left for nature to take it's course.
He goes back to see the Oncologist the day before his birthday (4 September) it would be the best birthday present if he told us that he is responding well to the chemo - we can only hope.
Hugs Hazel
