Thoughts are with you Lee.

I'm sure friends would say I'm the equivalent of a lump of coal when it comes to emotion but this thread really brings a tear to my eye when reading through it. Can't begin to imagine the feelings you must be going through. Although we have never met, thoughts are with you and your family.

The results of the scan were processed today... “catastrophic growth” throughout the brain including brain/spine connection.

Oncologist said she wouldn’t be surprised if it’s quicker than original guestimate.

So sorry to hear Lee.

I can't imagine how tough it must be for all of you.

If you need anything just say.

[MAXR]

Words fail me....lots of love Lee! Be strong.

So sorry to hear your latest update Lee

 

Our thoughts are with you and your family mate

[techieboy]

Lee, so so sorry to read that Alex's battle has taken a turn for the worse. It brings back altogether too many memories of past battles in my family.

 

Would that I had a fraction of the courage and dignity that you and Alex have displayed over the last five years, whilst you've all thrown everything at battling back against this evil disease. I can only imagine the strength it's taken to try and carry on a semblance of normality, whilst racking up so many shared experiences and memories of better times that all of you will cherish forever.

 

Our thoughts and wishes are with Alex, you and the girls.

Love is...
Love is running 2 flights downstairs at 3:36am when you hear your wife call help via the baby monitor.
Love is clearing your wife of sick, putting her nightie and sheets into the washing machine at 3:45 when you’ve cleaned her up.
Love is returning to bed at 3:57 knowing you’ve made her comfortable.
Love is knowing your mum is now sleeping on the sofa next to your wife’s hospital bed whilst you return to your warm cosy bed.
Never let it be said that we are not doing everything In our power to make Alex feel loved, supported and cared for in her last days. 😞

Bless you all. Stay as strong as you can. You are an awesome example to us all, whether you see it or not.

I fear we’re into the last few days.
As well as the extra pain and sickness, urine output is down to near zero over last 14hrs.
I’ve just had to have the very difficult conversation with the girls.
To sit down and tell your wonderful 8yr old princesses that mummy is dying broke my heart. Probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do so far 😔

Moments like these there is fcuk all script. It's just love in it's purest form.

Once again this thread has brought a tear to my eye.

Thoughts are with you all at this time.

[The Batman]

Can’t imagine what you all are going through

Thoughts go out to you all x

[FLD]

this is gutting from the outside. I can't even imagine what this is like to go through. You must have the emotional strength of a rhinoceros.

[CocoPops]

I’ll take that as a compliment
Thick skin of a rhino sure, never considered the emotional strength of a rhino.

They have a small ticklish spot on their belly but no other weaknesses. :nod:

[SteveA]

As a father myself I dread ever having to speak to my children about something like this. I deeply admire the courage you have and hope if I ever find myself in a similar situation I have a tenth of your resolve. I'm not generally an emotional person but this saddens me and I'm glad you can talk about it on here. I know I would almost certainly internalise the whole thing which is never a good thing.

 

Best wishes to you all
