A change in the wind...

Hello all, this is Ian's children typing. 

We're sad to report Ian's journey has changed course, and he will be stopping treatment from now on. He's currently in hospital, having had fluid drained from his lungs and abdomen, awaiting a bed to become available at a local hospice so that he can be looked after more comfortably closer to home.

There is no prognosis at this time, with the fluid build up resulting from the progression of his disease and the treatment no longer being effective. We're told the fluid is likely to return, although we don't know how long it will be until it does. Ian continues to fight in the same positive spirit that we continue to admire him for.

Ian, Diana, and ourselves would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued love, support, prayers, and thoughts. 

A, S, and H

  1. Send Ian all my very best he's very much in my thoughts ...I mentioned him only this afternoon in my own blog. We compared blogs during chemo at the Aylesford. I wish there were something I could do.
