The end of a long week but nearly ready to come home 🧡
After another weeks stay, he’s having two more bags of blood and then we’re going home.
This is Rods 4th hospital stay since February. His bone marrow is making new blood cells but unfortunately they are being destroyed somewhere in his body and he will need ongoing transfusions. His kidneys have deteriorated further but still holding in there. All part of the cancer journey 😢.
We won’t know if the new chemotherapy tablet is holding the cancer back, after it progressed in April, for at least another 6 weeks, but in the meantime we push on and live each day as they come.
It’s been another difficult week and we’ve met with many different palliative services which have been very helpful, but at least he gets to come home today where he can relax and hopefully get some strength back.
Much love ~ C
