Hi all,

This is Karen and I am just writing a short note for Barry as, unfortunately he is in a lot of pain. We have had the most amazing time celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary over the past 2 weeks, as Barry has told you, including seeing many of you at Leicester. This is now telling on him and he feels unable to post tonight, he is very tired, in pain and feels that things are changing within his body now. The chest nodules have grown a lot causing wheezing and sleep apnoea. He is hoping to be feeling a bit better tomorrow but tonight he is in a bad way. We wanted everyone to know as he has shared his journey, warts and all, so far and, now, despite it being very upsetting for him, he is sharing just the same. As Barry would sign off, life is for living and he is happy that he has lived his to the Max. Love from us both Barry and Karen xxx

Hi Karen,

I have read and followed all of Barry's posts, but this is the first time that I have replied. I am so sad to see that you are having to reply on his behalf, I only hope that he is feeling much better tomorrow. He is such a great inspiration.

Hi Karen,

Very sorry pain and tiredness is taking it's toll. Barry has been fantastic and I am sure will post again when he feels he is up to it but must not over extend himself. We will all be thinking of him and our best wishes go to him and you Karen.

Karen thanks for posting on Barry's behalf, it is extremely hard to see someone you love with all your heart in pain and battle weary. Dont forget the hospice team can help if the pain meds need reviewing. In the meantime both get as much rest as you can whenever you can. The last 10 days or so will have been a Herculean effort that will take eequally as long to get over. Thinking of you every day xxx

Hi Karen

Thank you for posting for Barry ... and yourself. It must be extremely difficult for Barry not to post. I hope he is feeling more comfortable this morning and that his pain control is working.

It was good to see you both at Leicester and I am sure many of us were amazed how much Barry and yourself have done over the past few weeks and more.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Very best wishes.

Alan and Celia

Hello fellow punters,

Thank you all for your kind thoughts following Karen's posting. Firstly I am feeling much better in myself. Secondly without beating about the bush Friday through to this morning was not a good place to be in and I admit to asking Karen to stay close to me in bed as I honestly thought I might not make it through the last 3 nights. I felt totally washed out, in a lot of pain and, because I was taking more Oramorph to combat the pain, spaced out. After a hectic week going up to my sons, going to the Leicester gig, seeing all of my family on the Sunday followed by going to the Runneymede Hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary, going to my Brother in laws last Saturday where all of Karen's family gathered for an afternoon tea and then me treating them all to a Sunday lunch yesterday in a lovely country pub. All very very good but at the end of the day knackering even if I was fit. So I guess it's no wonder that my body told me enough is enough and decided to close down if only for a warning.

I slept like a baby last night and well into this morning, I have no plans for the next few days other than rest and literally do nothing. Our flight tickets have been booked for a 5 night break in Dublin for the 14th of this month and I have every intention of being on it and having a pint of the real stuff.

Thank you all once again, your support means a lot not only to myself but to Karen as well, I am happy to know that she felt it right to let you all know how I was.

Life is for living

Barry,

 

You'd never believe how relieved we all are to read your post.

 

YES.....you got it spot on. You packed so much into just one week that your body was shouting 'TAKE A BREAK FFS! I'M KNACKERED!!'http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif

 

Always listen to what your body tells you.

 

I always do, but then again...I'm a lazy so and so!http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif

 

 

Great to have you back online.

 

 

 

George
