Hi There
My heart goes out to Joy's family & friends. I too am in the process of losing my Dad. After 16 months of uphill battle culminating in one cycle of chemo in-patient and the inability to find a donor match in a very weakened state he has been placed in terminal care. His condition is deteriorating by the day and his Oncologist doubts whether he'll make the week. We are shattered. I wish to thank Neill & Ruth for this amazing site and wish each and every MDS/Leukemia sufferer the chance to live. Love to you all Alison

Alison,
I'm very sorry to hear that your Dad is declining so rapidly. I hope you have the time, as others have talked about, to be with your Dad, hear his stories, and support him. Keep in touch when you can. And, thanks for your kind words about Marrowforums. Regards, Ruth

Hi Ruth,
I'm not going to start a new thread but just to let you know that my Dad passed away on Friday, 22/08. We used the last few weeks to say all we needed to say and he went peacefully. Our prayers were answered. Much health & happiness to you, Alison

Joy and Rob will be in my prayers, as will their families.
I hope they heard these words as they made the transition from this life to the next, "Welcome! Welcome, my good and faithful servants. Now, enter into the joy of your Master's house."
