Dismal results, so far

Three radiotherapy sessions have been completed. Each session takes only a few minutes of time to carry out. Two more scheduled - for Monday and Tuesday. So far, however, the pain is still there. There is no relief as yet. Which, I must admit, depresses the hell out of both of us :-(.

It is absolutely heart-wrenching to see how much Husband suffers every single day. It is painful whatever he does - whether walking, lying, sitting, it makes NO difference. It is just constant, unrelenting PAIN. Yes, he takes painkillers - quite a lot too - but they just barely chip the edge off the pain.

I am hoping and hoping that by the time the next two radiotherapy sessions are over there WILL be relief from the pain, but, so far, the results have not been encouraging. Husband ends up in tears as he feels so useless, and I end up in tears because I can't do anything to help him.

Please continue to keep Husband in your thoughts and prayers that the pain WILL ease up SOON, so that at least he can be pain-free while continuing to fight the cancer. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers too, that I continue to have the strength and health to look after Husband all the way.

Till next time, stay safe, stay HEALTHY.
