HI Liz,

Thanks for your support it means a lot. I fear that once the treatment starts and before the light can be seen, Maggie may dip into despair, she is not mentally strong which is why I wasso pleased that she was taking spiritual comfort from many sources. And altough she can bear a great deal of physical pain, her current problems are incessant and getting worse we have the GP tomorrow morning and I am hoping he will prescribe oramorph or similar for bedtime use so at least Maggie can have relief to sleep. I cannot sleep knowing how restless and uncomfortable Maggie is so it is not just effecting one person's quality of life but I would never suggest that to Maggie, this is not her fault despite her lifestyle choices. Anyway thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts, Alan
