Thanks for your support everyone. John isn't moving much at the moment in so far as he's been very breathless and can't manage for long without having to stop. That said I took my girls away for the night to go on the Harry Potter tour (birthday surprise for my 33 year old) and he was ok on his own, though we have plenty of local back up if needed. It was a nice break for us and John loved time to watch wall to wall Westerns with the dog at his feet. I'd love to take him away to the seaside and I hope we will once we get the RT sorted. When we went up for his hip RT last year we rather enjoyed the daily trips, the RT department is a nice place with lovely people and we treated it as days out. The oncologist did say that this might not be as pleasant an experience due to the location of the RT and of course they need to do calculations on what's possible.
The chest infection is clearing up thank goodness, the sun has come out. We feel very lucky that someone ordered a CT scan, otherwise we might be in a very different position.
