Thought I'd give you an update on DH

he is sooooooooooooooooo much better in himself.

Doesn't affect the 'ultimate' outcome, but we are now looking at long time together than shorter.

He is putting on weight, no longer in pain or feeling sick, we have a real quality of life.

We are hoping to go to disney in paris in the half term ,and hollan (duinrell) at easter,

Our macmillan nurse said that when she first saw dh she thought we would be lucky to get 3 months, now, all bets are off!

Life is good girls, live it to the full.

seriously, this palliative care has given us time and quality of life.

We still don't have long, in the greater sceme of things, but if you were looking at a pain filled possible 3 months with a dh is bed and vomiting all the time, a year of 'real' life seems like bliss

Actually the 'unexpected' Burns' night is the key. We are having just so much fun atm.

Everyone should live life like this.
