We have received some quite dreadful news, Sue’s Aunt Brenda, a good friend as well as a relative, was diagnosed with cancer before Christmas and, although serious, she was offered a tablet treatment that gave a life expectancy of five years or more.
With all her family around her, including her youngest daughter and her husband who travelled from Australia, Brenda had what she described as “the best Christmas ever” and was looking forward to starting the tablet treatment early January.
Sadly the tablets suppressed her immune system, she has caught an infection and is seriously ill in hospital. We are travelling home at our best speed.
Our best was not good enough.
