Still here

I am still in the BC Cancer Agency.  We've decides not to do any more treatment, so I'm palliative. No more radiation, chemo, poking and prodding.  Just being kept comfortable and out of pain.  Love my methadone and hydromorphone.   I'll probably move to a palliative place soon.  Right now I'm on an air bed and watch the mountains.  Lots of family and friends visiting.  Even a choir with Jan Alexander.  Many links between my circles.

Oh my friend, you never did shy away from the tough decisions! Hope the methadone plus less “poking and prodding” has you feeling more comfortable. Thinking of you. Collette O

Bless you, Val. Thank you for sharing your journey with so many people you don't know. Thanks for your part in the Reolysin trial. Even though it didn't work for you, be assured that all you've gone through and chosen to share will make a difference for many others.
