I've just been talking to Jean, Dick Gobble's wife, who is suffering from cancer. It sounds as though things are not going too well for her. Admittedly it's partly that she's recovering from a holiday in Yorkshire seeing family. Like the Fox, it has taken its toll.
But it isn't entirely that. She recently saw her specialist & the latter is worried. A further emergency scan is being organised but Jean fears it's a sign that the tumour has grown once more. She dreads being told there's nothing more that can be done & there's only weeks left to her. She worries how Dick will cope in that event without her. All I can say is we will all be there for her, and him, if the worst comes to pass. In the meanwhile we can but hope & pray.
Next week will be the time for the Fox's scan for his hearing problem. Needless to say that means another trip into Lancaster for the hospital. I can see, even now, it will be a long tiring day. We've to be in for 9am, which means trying to cross Lancaster at the height of rush hour. We've already been told he'll be there for at least an hour & a half. Experience suggests to me that means probably nearer twice that. I just hope at the end of it we'll get some answers & there will be something that can be done to make life easier for him at the end of the day. We'll soon find out.
