Hi Dawn Dads not to bad steroids seem to be helping, sleeps most of the time very unstable on his legs. Still gets a bit muddled but still fighting to live another day. Much more settled at home. We are taking each day as it comes. Thank you so much for asking, How is your dad doing? Hows radiotherapy going? has he started yet? Sam x x x

Hi Sam, Pleased that your Dad is feeling better and more settled now. It's all very frightening isnt it, not knowing what to expect from one day to the next. My Dad is so-so, he starts Radiotherapy on tuesday and we are hoping that helps with the pain he is having in his ribs. He is taking Oramoorph at night now as he was having difficulty sleeping with the pain so that has helped ease it. He has been given some oxygen to help his breathlesness also. As you say Sam we just take things one day at a time - I am going to see him on sunday, he lives in Bristol with my sister and I live in Newcastle, so I treasure the time we spend together . ((Hugs)) to your Dad , love Dawn xx

Hi Dawn Dad not so good, thanks for thinking of us. I feel so helpless, I wish I had a magic wand so I could make all this go away. I love him with all my heart but I cant stand seeing him like this. He is comfortable, no pain thats a bonus I guess. Hows your dads radiotherapy going? Sam x x

Dad's tired at the minute - he has a chest infection and the antibiotics he was given made him very sick so they have changed them now so hopefully he will get a little stronger. He has had 3 lots of radiotherapy and has 2 to go - hopefully they will help with pain control. Dawn xx
