Nothing more they can do for DH

The title says it all, really. We saw his oncologist yesterday. The last lot of chemo did no good at all and he's deteriorating fast. There are no other types of chemo available and, even if there were, he's not well enough to tolerate any further treatment. All they can do now is alleviate his symptoms as best they can and wait for the inevitable. I asked how long he had and the doctor said, 'months, not years, and probably not as many months as you would like'. Up until now, I've been telling the DSs that we hope Daddy will get better. Now I'm going to start saying that Daddy will not get better. Yesterday, I had to call MIL and tell her that her eldest son probably won't live to see Christmas.

MDI I'm so sorry. I've looked for your new thread, but can't find it yet, so am posting here anyway; I was stunned to read that your DH had passed away, and can't begin to imagine how much more shocked you must be. I so hope you have plenty of support around you at this time.

Thinking of you lots.
