    Hi all a update on Tom, we are at Auckland Hospital again with radiotherapy done its been a hard journey for Tom to recover from he,s due for chemotherapy in the morning at 9am but have to go in sooner as he has cellulitis in both legs and thay will have to chq he can have chemo or 3 days on IV antibiotics one doe not no frm hour to hour how the body can change, he's lost use of his left arm completely from the large tumor on his right lung that was the one that he had to have radio on to help with pain in the shoulder to finger tips, now his adrenal gland tumor which has taken over the kidney is playing up again and his tummy has extended with the swollen legs turned to a infection that can be life threatening cellulitis, were very scared about tomorrow , plse wish him the best he,s such a strong man but is feeling the tiredness now, i feel like we only just done radio now infection and onto chemo which is just for pain it certainly a roller coaster ride I wouldn't wish for anyone. Plse keep us in mind with our give a little and share our post never would on think the expenses involved and havnt even been able to save a dime for the funeral, come hell or hi water I will give him the grace he deserves, he has been such a kind gentle man to my boys and my grand baby's and a soul mate to me he gets us and has cared for us all including the community and thous in need, if u can plse help kind regards to u all .

    It's certainly a process with ups and down and very taxing on one's energy and truly emotionally journey. but Tom is half way threw his radiation therapy he has a badley swollen arm and hand due to blocked lymph glands and his neck is now swelling to. Sumtimes it feels like a step forward and 100 steps back with the pain, you all would be as proud of him as I am.
