In the last update I said rex was able to have a special tablet.. after talking with the docters he has decided that isn't for him either . He is at home coping his best for now.. its just hitting home how real the situation is .. rex and whanau would once again like to extend our thanks for your kind words and generosity
rex is home now, you may see him in his spot from time to time when he is up to it :)
Rex has decided, due to his other medical conditions chemotherapy is not for him, which was hard but the cancer is terminal, and quality not quantity is important...
But it turns out rex has a special gene which means while his cancer is not curable, there is a medication he can take that will give him a few more months with a better quality of life, so that was some really great news for the family 👪
We would like to extend our thanks for the kind words and gestures from every one of you, Rex has been really touched by you all, after such a hard life it means alot to him to hear how he has positively impacted you all 🥰🥰🥰
Fiona was gobsmacked to see Rex in his usual spot as soon as he was out of hospital. I hope he enjoyed his day and it’s good to hear he has meds that can give him some quality of life. I dont go up town often, but hope I spot him on one my trips🥰 Tell him Hi from Fiona’s Mum xxoo
Keep close to God. Good to see you up and about yesterday Rex. John
unfortunately rexs cancer is more advanced that we first thought and is already at stage 4 :(
He is awaiting doctors decision whether chemotherapy will be of any good to him
Rex wants to extend his gratitude for all of the kind words
the type of cancer rex has is adenocarcinoma
He is at stage 3b
Today he was allowed to return home while the docters try to make a treatment plan to give him some more time
Drs have estimated with treatment they expect rex to live 6-18 months
this morning rex was given a terminal cancer diagnosis :(
He has an aggressive form of lung cancer that has already began to spread (cant think the name will have to ask again) and the fluid they have drained has cancer cells in it.
The docters have said his condition is not curable but they may be able to give him some more time with chemotherapy treatment
Not the news we were hoping for
We will be visiting rex today i will read all the messages and post an update afterwards
the docters managed to drain another 5 litres of fluid from rexs lung today..
Alot of people are asking if he is able to have visitors.. he needs to rest at the moment so family only at this stage sorry
He and patricia are absolutely over whelmed with the kindness showed by the community thank you all so much will keep you in the loop and let all his friends know as soon as he is up to visitors 🥰
