Thank you very much everybody for your kind thoughts and support.
My beloved Helen, my wife of 38 years has come home after the operation to remove 90% of the malignant tumour from her brain.
I and my son will be looking after her at home until we are no longer able and she needs more intensive, professional attention.
During her time at home she will be receiving Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy which will be starting this week. This will involve five daily visits each week to Singleton Hospital as per her clinical needs for the next 12 weeks, and possibly longer.
Sadly, even this intensive treatment will do no more than delay the inevitable end for the cancer is a grade 4 tumour and brutally aggressive. She is frightened and distressed by such devastating news.
Needless to say, my input into BC activities will be severely reduced during these distressing times.
Once again, thank you for your thoughts.
Bev.

Knowing she is loved will be
Knowing she is loved will be her greatest source of solace and comfort. I sincerely hope her condition relents enough for you both to enjoy the time you still have together.

As a T-woman, I do have a Y chromosome... it's just in cursive, pink script.
I wish for you, your son and your wife Strength.

This is what the concept of Love is about. I am praying for your wife and your family both. You will stay in our thoughts.

I barely met or know Helen, that doesn't stop me wanting to ease the hurt. Please have a piece of my love and say hi to her for me too.
