My Diary
We received the terrible news yesterday that Jacob’s cancer has relapsed. We are shocked and devastated as things are far worse than we could have imagined following the news we received last week. Jacob’s cancer has spread to his leg, pelvis, clavicle and has also relapsed in his original tumour bed which shows a large ‘mass’ developing behind his abdomen. Cancer is also suspected in his lymphatic system and seems to be evident in his bone marrow.
As if the above was not bad enough, we have also been told that there is no more ‘curative’ treatment available in the UK. Instead, we have been offered low dose chemotherapy to slow down Jacob’s deterioration and prolong his life.
We are in total shock at the moment, but are trying to figure out what our options are, including abroad. We are keeping a brave face for Jacob’s sake and are trying to maintain a sense of normality in what is an impossibly difficult situation.
I will post more when we know. Please pray hard for Jacob, for a miracle...for his life.
Anthony.
