Just thought id update to let anyone know whats going on Dad is 75 diagnosed with lung cancer in about November. Well he has had 2 batches of Chemotherapy and after all the worry about how his body was going to take it we have been really blessed as apart from tiredness he has had no side effects, we are just hoping and praying that it continues. Thanks to everyone on here for there helpful advice and support it really has meant a lot.

Yes im really pleased, after you hear all the side effects, he has been so blessed that there are hardly any side effects. As for me im fine its easier for me than it is for most since im not working as well, and i think that must be far worse when you are trying to work and care for someone, and Dad is brilliant im very blessed to have him. I count myself lucky every day and we try to fit in lots of laughs where ever we can. I do patchwork, cross stitch and knitting to keep me out of trouble. Life is very different from what we had a year ago, but we take what we have and make the very most of it, I am a very lucky woman, and i try very hard not to take that for granted.

lots of love
