Hi John,  I'm truely sorry that  you and your family are in this heartbreaking position, we all find ourselves here as this is one big boat that we are all in together, but with no motor and no oars. However hard it may seem take comfort that Dad is coming home , where he wanted to be and cherish this time you are able to be with him. I have found this site my support where I can say whats on my mind and know others are going through the same range of emotions and feelings.

As for a cure ..... this is the 3rd time I've found myself in this position 1st Dad then Mum and now my Husband each time I have hoped for a breakthrough and hope from the depth of my heart that it could be found. We (Ian & I ) at this moment in time would try anything to sustain his quality of life (however obscure) I'm a big believer in the cure for anything can be found in the natural world ... but thats a complete different sujbect. 

Stay Strong John and know all our thoughts are going out to you and yours x Lesley x
