Update on John

So it’s been awhile since I posted as we’ve been travelling with John’s brother and sister and generally getting through Christmas with John feeling unwell.

John’s cough and breathing have been getting progressively worse. On Wednesday the oncologist rang me to tell me that there is nothing more they can do. She’s not sure how long he has but she’s talking in weeks and months. The tumour has kept growing and is now making its way through his windpipe. The radiotherapy doctor has started treatment as he thinks he can stop it growing for a spell. Not much else to say really has been a shock for all of us.
