An update!!

We are on the worst type of rollercoaster. Just over a week ago we had to attend an awful best interests meeting for my brother, it was decided at this meeting that treatment would not be fair on him as it would involve more than 20 general anesthetics to give him all the doses of chemo and radiotherapy his cancer would need, we were told this would then mean my brother would have a year max to live. I was devastated, then the Bristol Hospial who are over seeing everything and advising my brothers local hospital had another meeting themselvse last Friday and then phoned me, I was expecting them to agree with his local hospitals view of palliative care being the only kind option, but they have said there is a chance he could have a single high dose of chemo followed by a single high dose of radiotherapy! but his local hospital have said they cannot provide radiotherapy in this way so now I am left desperately hoping that the Bristol hospital will be willing to basically put their money where their mouths are and give him the treatment themselves. Another difficulty will be transporting him there as he does not cope well with long car journeys and would need sedation to get him to hospital and keep him calm enough to have a general anaesthetic (he cannot even have a blood test without a general anaesthteic) I am so scared to hope!
