Further to THE last post, I've found out more. The cancer has spread to the liver and the bone, and there is no chance at all.

Been placed on palliative care from now, which is slighty off putting. Hoping i am well enough to go home next week as some things need sorting before it happens. Got a horrible feeling it will be sooner than later.

Sorry guys, bad news im afraid.

My cancer has spread and with the other issues bringing me down,not hopefull at all. Been told i could end up in intensive care and whether i want a DNR. Been advised to have one as it could be excrutiating otherwise.

Sorry.....

OK guys, looks like this is it.

I'm being sent home tomorrow. Apparently, nothing much can be done for my "infection" and it has been determined that the most likely reason why is because the rate the cancer has spread.

As such it's palliative care. Home first to try and sort some things out, then a local hospice for my last days - don't particularly want Chris to come down to my dead body, though part of me will miss her. We are talking about days or weeks.

Anyway, thank you all for being there these last eight years. Being housebound, you were my lifeline to the outside world, and made it all bearable. Many of you I never met, but wished I did.

Christine will post on my Facebook page when it happens.

If someone would post on answerbank, that too would be appreciated.

I don't really know what to say apart from I wish you a peaceful end. x

So sad, I know he has been through the mill - his positivity has been amazing.

May his journey be a peaceful one.

Thanks for keeping us up to date Susan.x

I hope you manage to do the tasks that you want and need to do. As Tilly has said, I wish you a peaceful end with your family close by.

I am so sorry to hear of this. I hope you are able to have a quiet and pain free end. xx

I wish postdog the time he needs to sort things, and peace.

[cashier]

I also hope you have a peaceful end and hope you get done everything you need to do.

Oh no :(
Much love to you Postdog, I hope everything goes with as much tranquility as possible for your journey ahead. I always think of you very fondly and wish you and yours the very best under the circumstances .xxx

Thanks Wolfy, although it's very sad news indeed.

I hope Postdog can sort things out to his satisfaction in as comfortable a fashion as is possible.

This is very sad, though shows that the Internet is not all bad, giving friendship to those who are housebound for whatever reason. I hope that Postdog can see these replies and it will give him comfort in his last days. Blessed Be.

Susan, thank you so much for the news, postdog was a bit " fed up " a few weeks ago on AB. He is a very brave man to post such personal details about his health . I can offer him positive thoughts and prayers .

[Samuraisan]

I wish you peace, Postdog

[nailit]

I cant add much to the above^

Just sending lots of love Postdog!

What sad news. I really hope the end is peaceful.
Godspeed Postdog.

[wolf63]

I like him, he makes me laugh and he is a good person. Add to that the fact that he has a feline overlord, Ginger, and dogs (lots of dogs).

Postdog. I hope you get to read this, please trust me when I say from my nursing career I didn't see one cancer patient leave when it wasn't peacefully. What I am trying to say is don't be afraid, it sounds simplistic but it is just time to rest and sleep. My thoughts are with you.

Wishing you a peaceful journey home ❤
