Hi

My dad Patrick passed away Easter Sunday and I have posted about his passing on here before to hopefully help those dealing with the same or worrying about facing it.

Just wanted to add that my sister found some videos of dad on her computer she had forgot about and it was so great to hear his voice on them. The daft thing is he was…[Read more]

Hope your're feeling OK Dai – if it's not one thing it's another eh! Typical. Theresa and I would love to meet up with you sometime and happy to meet somewhere near you if that's easier. At the moment I am fundraising for my sky dive (cancelled due to bad weather it is rescheduled for 5 Nov (gulp!)) but if you organise anything, musical or not,…[Read more]

The Wednesday before he passed Dad really struggled to climb the stairs to bed and we were able to secure an electric bed from the local hospice for him on Thursday. The doctor then organised a syringe to feed medication to Dad and this, together with the bed, was such a godsend…[Read more]

Thank you lovely people – it's like I've never been away! Dad did go on Revlimid for a bit Dai but as the tumour on his rib seemed to be growing still the doctors took the view that it was not being very effective. Plus, when dad starting to feel unwell and weak we decided that the trips to the hospital and the battering the drugs were giving…[Read more]
