Tears in the keyboard

Tomorrow Joan has a blood test prior to seeing the Oncologist on Wednesday. He will have the results of the CT scan and we hope that it shows at least a slowing of the tumour growth. The recent SIRT treatment which was aimed solely at the 30- something liver tumours may give us hope for more time together.

This morning there were tears as we both thought, without words, that The Man will be giving us bad news. I think Joan is ready to forgo further treatment if the oncologist decides that it will not help. In that case, we will ask about a time span and try and do a couple of things on Joan’s bucket list.

Tears in the keyboard.

Ohkev andjoan I know how you feel but remember how many times Had was given bad news and how many specialists gave up on him but he had 9 years that he didn't think he had, . There are other specialists and different drugs, I've met quite a few people in Bali that are leading a good life even though their specialists gave up on them. We are all thinking of you and hope you get good news, but figures don't always count according to Shervon. Love Marg
