        Lori,

        I'm sorry to hear about Will — he certainly was a fighter and I'm glad that he had you as such a good carer and for support. I'm sure he appreciated it. I should like to send my condolences to you, Will's family and friends and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

                I am sorry to hear that Will is still vomiting despite medication. I hope he soon improves. From personal experience I know chemo can have bad side-effects despite taking anti-sickness drugs. I agree with what others have said and hopefully with the rest etc things will get better.

                    Hi Lori,

                    I'm sorry to hear that Will is so tired and feeling worn out and hope he soon improves. However, I'm pleased to hear that all the visible lesions are very small and flat and that his pain is much better. When is his next scan due?

                        I am sorry to hear the results of your latest scans after taking 4 treatments of Ipi and hope you are a late responder.

                        I hope your meeting goes well with your oncologist on Monday and that something can be recommended to help with your pain. Also, I hope you can be offered some other form of treatment if you decide to pursue that course.

                            God Bless You Sharon — I'm so sorry to hear your news. You are such a brave person — always giving others support. Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I read your message.

                            I am glad you were able to celebrate your granddaughter's birthday and hope she will have many happy memories of it.

                            My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I hope you can be kept as pain-free as possible.

                              Thank you for everybody's messages which are much appreciated. The dose of my proposed radiation is 13 Gray over two doses, plus radiating my tumour on my stomach on another machine the same day. I don't know the dose that will be. I'm only be given that dose as I'm not expected to live long, maybe weeks maybe three — six months, we will see, as it is just to help make my life better.

                              I'm just hoping I can cope as I have severe back problems and pain and cannot sit so hope there will be a trolley available to lie down as required.
