The thread and situation passed me by. I hope you are doing well OP.

Likewise...

Sorry to hear this Daniel.

If you even need to vent we are all here.

I lost a good friend to cancer this year so this kind of stuff is pretty raw for me.

I hope that you defy the odds and come out the other end stronger for it. It is possible so never give up hope.
 
I'd fight it to the end - whether that be a week year or 50 years keep fighting it until its your time, but good luck to you and yours
 
Thank you all for your kind words. It really is greatly appreciated.

Well... I'm finally back home after 6 weeks in Southampton. To say that it has been a pretty horrendous time is putting it rather mildly. The treatment went well. Very well in fact. I won't say any more at this stage as I have to go back in a couple of days for a suite of tests to confirm exactly where we are. I should have had this immediately upon completion of the chemoradiotherapy but chose to leave to be with my wife as her father had suddenly become most unwell - in fact his battle with cancer came to a very sad end on Friday. So I will give a proper update in the next few days.
 
I have no words to convey adequately how sorry I am to read this. All I can say is that I wish you and those close to you all the best wishes and luck in the world that you find the right path for you and yours.
 
**** man, that's an awful time for the family. I hope that the tests yield some news for you that make the time less difficult for you all.

Keep us posted and keep that head up!
 
Fingers crossed for you Daniel, even the slightest of chances is worth the fight. In Nov 2012 I got the dreaded middle of the night phone call from the UK, my mum had went in to the dentist for a toothache problem, one X-ray later she was off to hospital for a specialist to look at her, they found a massive tumour in her jaw, the odds were very low but akin to you she had a very extensive course of chemo and radio over 5 weeks (sounded horrendous, pinned to a table with a mesh mask covering her face for hours at a time, she said it felt like being buried alive!).

End of this story, she had her first Oz holiday this Xmas after being given the 12 month all clear :) there is always hope, and we will all be urging yuo onwards to kick this back to were it belongs. Stay strong mate :)
 
I sincerely hope the tests bring good news. For one reason or another when I read that members of OcUK are sick/dying, it affects me on a personal level.

It must be difficult for your wife after losing her father (if that's even the right word); so try to be strong for her and your children. You seem like a genuine fellow, and I'll be following the thread closely :)

Oh, and remember..
