I will no longer post on Joan's Cancer Blog.
The Lock Family Blog will continue with frequent postings including reflections on my dear wife.

requiescat in pace
The journey through cancer therapy was long and hard. The number of tumours in her liver alone totalled 30 and surgery was not an option.
Joan was accepted onto a trial using Folfox6. That was later changed to two other regimes and she was accepted into the SIRT program where minute irradiated spheres were inserted into her liver. Unfortunately nothing worked and she suffered greatly from the side effects.
Even though she lost her appetite and could eat very little she still collected recipes from the newspapers.
She was able to participate in some group functions until quite near the end of her journey.
Today is her funeral service and we are holding a wake at our place for her. my loss is almost unbearable.
