Thank you all fir your kind words. A Macmillan nurse came today and already we have a cosy hospital bed downstairs in our back room and various aids. A wheelchair will be here by end week.

We cry often but we are enjoying each others company still. Medicines were sorted out too and a dear neighbour fetched the prescription. We are blessed with a wonderful son and daughter who are supporting us well while dealing with their own feelings too.

After an emotional meeting with our lovely oncologist it was first decided to have one shot of radiotherapy but that has now been stopped as his bad leg us almost as strong as the other. As his psa is now 3000 there is no way he can recover and too weak for further treatment but our children are really supportive and helpful and help us to get through the tough times. We don't want to be apart and each day we are just thankful for that precious time.

Each day it gets a little harder. Twenty minutes of talking is enough and he sleeps instantly when tired. My feelings are that we will not have as long as we hoped.

Really sorry to hear this. All so very sad for everyone. I hope you can treasure each last waking moment. Apparently it’s good to talk if you can even when he seems asleep , or have some calming music on. Hearing is the last sense to go !

Tough day today. A visit from our vicar and facing up to things that were hard to think about leaving us a bit down tho peaceful too. G is very poorly today and I fear we have weeks not months. Each day a little weaker and less able to do things. Bazza was so brave and voiced his tribulations so well and I think of him with admiration.Today we are thankful for a four pronged stick and a raised toilet frame. It's the little things that matter.

I am so sad when I read what you are both going through but grateful that you are sharing reality at this time so others like me can be aware of what may be to come.  I hope there are some good bits today for you.

A little positive post. Today the children and I managed to get G over to his seaside birthplace for the day thanks to the loan of a ground floor flat from a friend and we enjoyed a blow by the sea and chats with old friends. It was a special family day we will always cherish.
