"Morning all you wonderful people on this windy and blustery day, it's the dad dad man (Jay) here, Maxie is busy with his bot bot so he said I can put a post on his blog!! I just wanted to talk a little bit about the boring cancer thing!!! Last week, we took the decision to halt my pallaitive chemo sessions. Not a decision that was taken lightly but a decision that was ultimately right for us. It simply comes down to a choice between quality and quantity.....and my friends, quality wins hands down...shimples!!! We have been blessed with so many oppurtunities recently, and these are memories that Maxie will be able to cherish for the rest of his life. Unfortunately with chemo running through your veins, this hampers your capabilities and we're determined to enjoy every second of every day.
Having said this I HAVE NOT given up, this is simply not my philosophy and never will be. I spent two hours yesterday at a clinic in Brighton talking to a wonderful doctor about the many alternatives, which I intend to utilise. So, there is always hope...miracles DO happen and with the power of a positive mind absolutely anything is possible!! Anyway, have a great day all you beautiful people I know I will!!! Lots of love, Jay xxxxxxxxx"The brave dad has said that one of his main aims has been to highlight pancreatic cancer.
