Radiation

Darryn was told yesterday that he has to stop the drug trial and have radiation therapy. They have found 2 spots in his brain and 2 in his lung. It's so frightening to be facing this I can only guess how poor Daz is feeling. He is so down I am worried about him. He started taking steroids and is sick and is so tired, I hope these side effects go away soon. Don't have much else to say, just trying to get my head around this and be there for poor Daz.

Colin having chemo which it was his last one today.

With Colin having chemo it has been rather distressing to all of us. It was every 3 weeks starting last May where I was in WA which is a long time to be patient. It was my son's birthday on the 11th of Nov and I said to Colin what can we do for Stuart's birthday? It wasn't taken care off as he didn't hear me. I asked again on Monday and the same happened again. So when Tuesday came Colin didn't know what was going on. He asked me what is going on and I said to Colin that we are going out for Stuart's birthday. What a negative celebration but we had a good time in a café for an hour.
