I am glad you got some rest and care in the palliative care unit. A good doctor is a blessing, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing, like a skilled nurse for making you comfortable. I visited a friend of mine in the oncology unit at our local hospital yesterday and she was fast asleep with a smile on her face. I knew it's because she was getting the rest and pampering she needed. When I was in the oncology unit for a few days, they gave me hand massages. Sigh.
I am hoping and praying that the Tykerb/Xeloda beats back your tumors and that you get the three years of stability that Pam enjoyed. After that, there will be another treatment.
Love to you and yours down under.
