Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry 😔
It's such a hideous disease.
Yes he's already had 12 weeks some months ago and the result was it had put it to sleep. Not anymore. I'm scared for his frail little body coping with the treatment this time round 😔
I'm here to listen if you ever want to talk pancakes. Promise me you will if you need/want to? Love you pancakes 🙏
I'm ok, I suppose, have to be really. Still gotta work etc...

I can imagine, the treatment itself is bloody horrible isn't it? The docs must be happy with his cell count then yeah? They wouldn't go more chemo if it wasn't safe for him? I'm sorry it hasn't eft off for him, would be heart be waking to go through.
thank you @Anastasia and I am always here for you too. I'm ok about it atm, it's in a box. We don't have a lot of info yet so I'm steering clear of google doctor and just going to keep the lid on the box til we get the info we need

Dr Google is trouble so that is wise @pancakes.
Going to go and stare at a wall so to speak. Thank you for your messages 💖
Tomorrow is another day 🙏💙

I am very worried about my mate. He's not talking to anyone. It's reducing me to tears

Not at all @pancakes it's just a silly saying.
Oh that's not good. I don't know what to suggest, I am sorry. Here to listen @pancakes

Whats the saying mean? I haven't heard it before @Anastasia

I guess it's switch off type of thing...stare at a blank wall. Stare into space, not think. Does that make sense?
Don't know if it's an actual saying lol but I use it often. I am that special kind of cray cray @pancakes 😀
It does suck, I'm hoping he reaches out for help when he's ready 🙏
