Heavy heart

I write the following with a heavy heart and please forgive me for breaking this news.
All did not go well at Addenbrookes Wednesday.
Lynn's cancer is now at an untenable stage and its rapid growth is now incomptible with any treatment plans available.
She was given the option of continuing on the imunotherapy route or stopping all treatment. With the time she have left, any thoughts of just giving in are not in her nature, so she will continue and we will find out today when this will take place. This may even happen today!
Where are we if we live without hope?
Reality has arrived in our world after many months of denial.
After making a pact between the two of us to of never wanting to know the prognosis, the question that no one should ever have to ask was asked, and the answer is a very short time frame.
So battle lines have now been drawn in the sand, and Lynn is very much up for the fight as we all know she just loves a challenge.
Lynn has not changed as person, she is still the loving, caring and bubbly girl we all know & love, so if you get the pleasure of talking, messaging or meeting the wonderful lady, don't pity her, simply act your normal self and lets all enjoy the time we have available.
There will be plenty of time for grief, but now is not that time, this is Lynn's time! We simply have too much to do, we  have a vey long list and we are less than half way through, Pandas in Edinburgh next!
