Still the ghost writer I'm afraid. Vic was released from Hospital yesterday late afternoon. He was very happy to leave but its hard to go back home with the worry you may pick up another infection. We have learnt to take his temperature 3 times a day just to keep check (Vic doesn't show signs of a temperature for some reason)! He did have a nice tea when he got home which seemed to cheer him up and he was really pleased to go to bed and had a fairly comfortable night.
Today has been another hard day. Vic has been in a lot of pain lately and it really drains him so he just doesn't have the energy to even tell me what he wants to put on here.
It's 9.00 pm and he just went to bed, he has had a fairly okay day. I took him to have his 3rd lot of radiotherapy today which he seems to be coping okay with. He's just been through so much its as much as he can do to get out of bed, have a shower, get in the car to go to Addenbrookes, come back again and have something for tea. It's so sad to see him so debilitated we just pray he can keep it all going.
He is finding it so hard lately, he has moments when he is okay but then he just gets so tired he can't keep it all together. I just wish we could have some good news to keep us both going and give us that little glimmer we need.
The comments you all put on here do help. I know we keep saying that but it does. I know you all want to help us but the awful thing is there isn't a great deal any of us can do. Just be there for us and we really do know where you are.
I wish we had something funny to put on here but it really isn't funny at the moment. Sorry today's entry sounds so bleak but the whole idea of the blog is to keep you up to date and to date life is a bit crap.
Thanks to you all again for messages, practical help, and the prayers and thoughts you have sent. I feel awful I can't speak to all of you in person and I feel awful about not replying to text's phone calls and cards but I'm sure you understand this is so hard. Hopefully our next entry will bring something fun or positive.

Dear Vic and Sue
We are so pleased to hear that Vic is home, and think you are always happier in your own bed with your own things and loved ones around you.
We are thinking of you both, willing you on and praying that you can keep up the strength to keep fighting.
Take good care.

Hi both of you,
Glad Vics home - it has to be more comfortable in your own "bakewell tart". Vic, I know its so much easier to say than do - but keep fighting. Find positive things to focus on and think about. Wedding pics,Tottenham winning, The love that everyone is sending you. The radiotherapy is going to kick the arse out of this tumour. Thanks for keeping the blog going even when it is so tough. It helps everyone to know how you both are -even if its a crap week.Everyone sends their love and prayers

Hello Vic and Susan
Really pleased that Vic is home, but not so good to hear how much he is suffering. If all of our love and good wishes could be counted he'd be better in no time - so keep going Vic, we are all willing you well. And, don't worry about making us laugh either, its just really good to read your blog updates.
Jane Parker xx
