Below is the latest update from Barry Myrden, Audrey's husband. Barry, Audrey and their family are facing some big challenges in the coming weeks. Thanks to all for your support so far, any further support is greatly appreciated.
Audrey is not doing so great. She is still in palliative care hospital at Greenwich and will be for some time.
I don't believe she will ever be able to come home.
She is allowed out on day trips but she is on strong pain medication for headaches and is easily confused.
I spoke with her doctors last week and they said they had exhausted all options with her treatment. They can kill her with Chemo as easily as the tumour can kill her. No more surgery,Avastin, Chemo, MRI's... When the tumour comes back (if it hasn't already) then we are just to make her comfortable as possible.
She is still relatively mobile and can feed herself but has hard time telling what day it is.
Thank you for all your support so far.
