Thanks for that, Brett. Blood transfusions and platelets perked him up no end, and his liver and spleen have returned to normal. My son can't speak too highly of the treatment at Palma. A bedroom has been available for him and his wife, they have had visits from a social worker and a psychologist and Rory is getting a couple of hours play therapy a day to alleviate the boredom

It's been a long haul. After two months chemotherapy in Palma he was in remission then we brought him back to England for stem cell/bone marrow transplant which the Mallorcam oncologist was insistent he needed. His counterpart over here thought different and said that three courses of remission chemotherapy would do the trick.
Within a month his cancer count was back to 70% so we were back to square one. To cut a long story short he was sent home on Friday. "Nothing more we can do".
With the help of Macmillan, we are getting a second biopsy done next week and his notes are being sent to some hotshot boffin in Glasgow.
Others may have given up. We can't.

A final footnote. Very many thanks for your kind messages. It’s Rory’s funeral tomorrow. I returned from the local aerodrome to pick up a mourner who had flown in from Berlin, to find my wife in tears.
She’d had a phone call from home in Ireland to say that her brother had died.
The only conclusion I can draw is that God is a spiteful, vindictive, callous b
