dumpy222 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I`m so sad, dad has been discharged from the hospital they say they can do no more treatment! He keeps crying which is tough he isnt one for showing feelings. We are all devastated by the news. Have no idea whats going to happen next, hospice have been in!

SandraL Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Donna. I really have no appreciation for what you and your family must be feeling but my heart goes out to you. Prayers for you, your dad and your family at this difficult time. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Just reading your dad's treatment history, I see he hasn't been on Tarceva. I think you and your dad should seriously consider going in to make sure that "no options" is really the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillise Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I thought they reversed the decision not to fund tarceva in the UK. I would certainly look into it. In the meantime, please know that your Dad and your family is in my prayers. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumpy222 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks to all who`ve posted your words are very kind! As for tarceva we can buy it over here for £1900 a month but the nhs will not fund it! There is big battles over here at the moment as the nhs refuse to fund alot of the medication that is vitally needed due to the cost!! However if we lived in Scotland we could get it funded for us Donna x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
