Not what we hoped for!

This will be a brief and rather bleak post, I'm sorry to say. The oncologist told us the chemo has not worked: the liver tumour has continued to grow and the cancer has spread to my spleen. There is a different kind of secondary chemo with some unpleasant side effects and maybe a 5% chance of effect. We shall think about and in the meantime see if I feel better without chemo.

Now it is over to my local doctor and Dorothy House, the hospice.

I wanted to apologise to everyone whose emails I have been lamentably slow to answer. Please do not think we are not grateful for offers of help! So far we have been fine. But who knows what the future holds when we may need all the help we can get. It is lovely to feel wrapped in love and concern. I'm just sorry the news is not more cheerful.
