Another option perhaps?

Wow Andie….when it rains it pours (and I don’t mean the weather) !
Great news to have another option open to you, even if it is just a possibility. It is depressing (as a carer but obviously even more so as a patient) when the ‘experts’ are negative, even when they don’t have to be. I have certainly seen this with Mum. Why don’t they realise how their demeanour has an effect on people. So lovely to see the oppposite effect on your Dad…it can make such a difference.
Wishing you lots of luck with both Prof Lodge and CK.
JemimaHi Andie,
One day at a time indeed, thats always a good plan!
Yes a bit north of me it is really bad and we are just starting to see some of it now here, but it is meant to get worse over the coming days. But from what I have seen, it is meant to be down the east coast of the country so hopefully you will miss most of it. And thank you for thinking of me! I guess that we are used to it here, the winter boots are at the ready and my electric fire is working well! And the council say that they have enough grit and salt unlike last year, so yep, I guess we are ready to go as it were!
I am keeping everything crossed for your dad for Monday and so hoping that he gets some good news.
Best wishes,
Gavin
Hi Gavin,
I thought of you when the pictures of the snow in Scotland appeared on the news.
I keep checking the Met Office for Leeds, and so far no snow is forecast. We are due some in the night here in the West Midlands. It is certainly cold enough for it.
Yes we will see what Professor Lodge recommends, as the Cyberknife is so expensive and funding probably wouldn’t be a possibility. One day at a time.
Hope the snow doesn’t last too long.
Best wishes
Andre
Hi Andie,
Great to hear that your dad is enjoying his food and is eating again! I know how much my dad enjoyed his food and eating gave him much pleasure indeed. Perhaps you could speak with Prof Lodge on Monday and see what he thinks of CK. But I agree with what your dad thinks in seeing what Prof Lodge says first overall. Then based on what he says, take things from there.
Hopefully the snow won’t be an issue for the 2 of you as you drive to Leeds, it started snowing here today and it’s baltic!
My best to you and your dad,
Gavin
Thanks Lainy,
This is another Doctor! I sent Dads CT scan to Professor Lodge, a surgeon and Dr Gaya, who deals with cyberknife. Both have replied within days of each other.
It has given Dad some hope, he has even started eating and enjoying his food again. We think he was close to giving up and depression was setting in.
We are going to Leeds Sunday night ready for our meeting with Professor Lodge, then we will see what happens from there.
Thinking of you and Teddy, and hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving xx
