He's hoping something can be done to relieve his present unpleasant symptoms.
I feel so helpless, as there's very little I can do to make things better, apart from providing loving care.
It requires the services of a top specialist like Mr L, who was originally going to operate on the bowel to remove a tumor, in January, but an MRI scan taken 3 days prior to op revealed new tumours in the liver. It was deigned too dangerous to operate and Stephen was put on palliative treatment.
His first bout of chemo proved disastrous, causing a heart attack and several seizures. Subsequent chemo has proved ineffective - which brings us to the present unhappy situation, of attempting to deal with distressing symptoms in order to make Stephen's life as comfortable as humanly possible.
I cast my mind back to happier days - a few months ago - December - when we drank to the future - and there was hope. . .
