We saw the orthopaedic specialist and the oncologist together on Monday morning with a phone-in from the palliative care doctor. A consensus was quickly reached that surgery would not be appropriate at this stage and that the focus should be on removing pain. Jane has been prescribed with some new painkillers about which we are cautiously optimistic. She has been taking them since Monday. The problem has been that pain tends to break through suddenly and viciously and that really needed to be gripped. We were at a family wedding last weekend (see photo) but it just about finished Jane off by the time we got home on Sunday evening.
She started another course of chemotherapy on Monday and we will see the oncologist (and the orthopaedic specialist) again in mid-March.
Jane's nephew, Jake, has also been really ill - progression of the leukemia. He has just had a brain operation to remove an abscess. He is being very brave about it all.
Please keep praying for them both.
Love
Peter and Jane

My darling Stamps!;
What a lovely picture of Jane, beauty of a hat, my girl!! I am so sorry to hear of your ongoing pain and have been praying for you a lot lately. I think of you often; especially at fitness class when i cant bear another leg lift...i think...oh yes i can, if my friend Jane can put up with what she is going through i bloody well can give it another shot. ha ha. (sorry for the dark humour.)Very brave of young Jake, I hope he will progress to a recovery soon. He will get some prayers too.
We miss you both. But the blog is a lovely way to check in on you and to see such lovely photos. Thanks for doing this Peter. Love Sally & Dave
