My Son Andrew and his battle with Cancer

[katwoman]

It's great to hear some good news from somewhere. The stress relief must be fantastic.

Today was the best day this year so far, we got Andrew to come out of hospital for a few hours to join us for a bbq dinner.
It was so good to enjoy his company while cooking a bbq, something that I would have never thought was anything special before.
We were meant to be driving back to Adelaide from this Friday but the Dr's were to concerned about the distance between hospitals if something went wrong so the new plan is he is going to fly back on an air-ambulance. Unfortunately this means that he will have to have a drain surgically fitted to relieve the pressure build up in his lungs then have it removed in Adelaide.
His recovery continues to amaze the medical staff, we had been hoping that after about 5 years if he was still in remission from the cancer he would be put on the lung transplant list but his surgeon today said that it would not be necessary as his lung function would be sufficient without a transplant.
It is so weird to think that when he was in the coma and the dr's were telling us he was going to die I would wake up from dreams where he was walking and talking and doing normal things and I would wake up and think this will never happen but it is happening now.
Life is good.

I was only just talking to b the wife about Andrews last update from his mate..
And that I thought you guys were making the trek this week..
A shame but probably best to go via air. If anything happens they are equipped to deal with it..

Still an absolute amazing chapter to this story mate..
May maybe a touch early for a beer but mate he is a trooper..

Send him best wishes for the flight mate..

Great news Tony.
So much of your lives have been put on hold,but to see the light at the end of the tunnel getting larger must be a great relief.
Prayers and best wishes to all concerned.
