The hardest time in my life

On Monday 19th July Michael and I where told Daniel will recieve no further treatment for his Leukemia. His body is simply too weak - we are devestated.
The decision was taken by the doctors after reviewing his last 2 bone marrow biopsys. The first was before the last round of chemo, the 2nd was after - it was TOTALLY unaffected, the chemo had failed. Initally doctors said perhaps it was worth a try just to see and then another blow....it had entered into his blood stream and for the 2nd time since last December he had "blast cells" (or cancer to you and i) in his blood. Doctors said if they attempted another round it was not going to "cure" him but mearly prolong his life for what might only be weeks and not very good ones at that.
Daniel, this way is surrounded by his friends and family doing things he loves, he will remain at home until the time comes for him to need additional pain relief in hospital. We have been told a bed is available for 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is our decision to take him back into Alderhey i cant begin to tell you how wonderful they have been and he is so used to being their surrounded by people he/we know who have now became friends.
Me, well my heart is broken i never ever though i would have to write this post and with each and every day a little piece of me dies too, i will never be the same person I was.
We have no idea "how long" but doctors says "weeks" at most. One thing i will say is that as a family we would never have gotten through the last 7 months without the amazing unwaivering support of some very special friends and family - Daniel is lucky to have been part of such a special group of people. We love you all.
