Some possible good news about DH, will find out more on Monday

Dh has started to not respond to the drug treatment and his tumours have returned, along with the symptoms.

We had spoken to the GP who has refered dh to the Hospice for Paliative care, so the begining of the end (sorry if that is over dramatic)

Anyway, we have just had a phone call from the hospital, form his oncologist, asking him if he wants to try a new drug.

Have no idea which one, what it involves, if it is a clinical trial. But they want to see him (and he wants me to go with him) to discuss the option on Monday.

Please keep everything crossed for us

Nothing useful to add other than hugs, love, admiration and all digits crossed for the MB family x

I remember so clearly this time last year when things were moving so quickly and you thought you might not get through to Christmas - and then you have had a really good you (in the circumstances).

Really hoping your luck comes up twice and you get at least another good year.

Blandmum · 18/11/2007 09:34

You are right, and I've been thinking the same thing myself. This was the time that DH was first atken into hospital, and we had the diagnosis and prognosis of 3-6 months in the first week of December , or so.

And a year later he is still with us, and no worse than he was last year. And in that year we have done Disnely land paris, Duinrell in holland, the better part of a month in Scotland, a week in Lyme Regis at whitsun, Rome and London!

He isn't so good atm, and I will be very interested to see what they offer him tomorrow. I'm going with him, as I used to work in Drug safety monitoring of clinical trials, so I know a little about how useful the various stages of clinical trials are for the individual taking part.

Anyway, fingers crossed. Must go, I'm taking the kids to the gym.
