No Ger, sadly, the cancer had progressed. This we knew, but had no clue it was that far gone and her death imminent, and they paid $19,500k up front for this new treatment regime on December 22nd (its not available in the public benefit health scheme) to commence. She had just the one treatment and I'm sad, so sad she had to endure all the toxicity that goes with the treatment in her final days. No one would have opted for that had it been known just how far gone she was. We talked about the treatment and feared it would be harsh. The money is irrelevant in the big scheme of things, just harsh that with payment accepted and the mix prepared it so raised their hopes only to have them shattered within days. A cruel reality sadly so many have to face. Yes, it truly was a shock, even when Brian phoned, I thought he was just going to say hi and pass the phone to Barb. Score once again for the reaper.
