It's been another tough week with three visits to the hospital and phone conversations with MacMillan nurses and GPs. Despite pills, potions and creams Jane hasn't been comfortable and her food intake remains very low due to lack of appetite.
One thing that consistently causes emotional instability is the unprovoked kindness of strangers from our distant neighbours delivering flowers to the district nurse who we've never met ringing on a Saturday morning to check that Jane is OK. And of course the warmth, encouragement and genuine care Jane has received from her oncologist. Our lives are difficult at the moment but they would have been so much worse without the humanity all around us.
