Update from meeting with doctor re scan Monday

We went to the Churchill today, following Jo's MRI scan on Monday. Unfortunately today's news was not good. We were hoping that the complications of the last couple of weeks were a reaction to the radiotherapy, and would improve in time. However, it wasn't to be, and the tumor has grown, despite the radiotherapy. Sadly Jo now has a short time with us. The consultant's best estimate is 2-3 months. Meanwhile they have doubled the steroid medication in the hope of reducing the swelling from the radiotherapy and improving speech and co-ordination.

Obviously, this is devastating news, and we need a bit of time to let it sink in. We will update the blogg weekly.
