Day 10 in hospital

Today was the day we finally heard that Bruce definitely has Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma which evidently is one of the better one's to get according to the Dr if any is better. The leg is only sightly better and we have been told that it is quite likely that because the bone cancer is close to the surface it won't be healing properly until they give him a zap with chemo. This will make the tumor begin to retreat and let the surface heal so....this could mean that he won't be home any time soon :( Even the dog has given up coming to Bruce's side of the bed to say hi to him in the morning once I let him in. Ella (cat) who is Bruce's night pal has decided that I will do to sleep next to at night! Max (another cat) has just taken over the lower part of Bruce's side of the bed so when he gets home he will have to stake his claim again!!!

Bruce is on the move now around the hospital and if you are going to visit him it would pay to phone for a current address. He is in Ward 76 as of tonight but I am sure he will be moved tomorrow. Probably to oncology but I will let you know once he is settled.

Joel and I are like ships in the night at the moment although we did see each other for a few moments this morning - crazy living in the same house! We are doing fine.

Thanks for all the comments on the blog and mail in. I hope that you appreciate it's just to much for me to answer my emails - unfortunately there just isn't time in the day.

Love to you all B & J xx
