So glad you and Andy are in the single figures soon. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger. Reading your posts it brings back so many memories. We got through it and so will you both.

So glad the apple juice is working. Steve couldn't stand water during treatment and the only way to get it into him was via the pump and peg. But apple juice, never a problem. Steve's blood pressure was also low during treatment but it's ok now.

Hang in there girl, it's nearly over. Only 9 more to go and then you can start to move into recovery for both of you. It will take some time, especially for Andy but eventually things will get better.
