My dads in hospital (again) :(

[nicki]

He has to go to the hospital every few weeks for his treatment, just a few hours thing (he's got cancer & a large tumour in his back) and had to go again today but they've kept him in as his movement in his legs has been getting worse over the last few weeks & they don't know whats causing it.

He's having a MRI scan tomorrow (again) and having another course of radiotherapy, which they don't normally do as he's already had a dose and the consultant said it 'could' result in him becoming paralysed but also added that within a few weeks he will probably be confined to a wheelchair anyway because his legs don't work properly.

It feels like this is never ending, he first went into hospital with it just before Christmas 2005 for 6 weeks. I was pregnant at the time as was able to go to the hospital every day & be there for my Mum but now we've moved away & Jamie's here so not that easy to do. I want to cry

Just an update on my Dad.
The tumour has grown and is swamping his spine again and causing nerve damage hence losing the use of his legs so he had a dose of radioptherapy today & has to have more on Mon, Tues & Wed. so fingers crossed it shrinks the tumour again, as my Mum said cancer usually wins but at least it buys some more time.
The poor old sod has been though so much, its all so horrid.
