I saw the consultant at Maidstone Hospital yesterday.
Unfortunately the treatment with Ofatumumab has done no more than slow down the growth of the cancer. As it is only a trial drug they can offer no more treatment with it and the consultant told me that the future looked bleak, possibly I have no more than a couple of months.
To say I feel gutted and devestated is an understatement.

sorry to hear such terrible news.
My Dearest Andy,
You will be in a state of shock right now - i remember only to well how my mother and i felt when she was given the very same news. In the next few days you will find strength - surround yourself with loved ones.
You are in my thoughts
Much love, Jayne X
Sad news indeed, I second that you can surround yourself with friends and loved ones during this very difficult time.
My friend Andy,
I dont know what to say - except Im so very very sorry.
You will be in shock right now so take time - be with those you love and love you. And never forget there are those you have never met who hold you tight you in their thoughts and prayers,
Jane

Oh, Andy, I am just heartsick to hear this. Please know that there are plenty of us who have you in our thoughts and prayers. Sending you a big hug, my friend. Love, Beth
Andy, Andy, Andy - I'm stuck for words here. I just can't imagine how you must be feeling now. I can imagine how I might feel - I think - but that's not the same. I know others are saying to surround yourself with loved ones but me, I would have to be on my own until I had it straight in my mind and THEN face my public. I wouldn't be able to deal with their grief AND my own both together.
However you deal with it there are plenty of us rooting for you and thinking of you. I'm just sorry you have to go through this.
love, Angie, xx
Andy,
I am very sad to hear this news, and I cannot begin to fathom how this must make you feel. We are all here for you and with you, as are those who are with you in person. Keep posting.
Hey Andy. I am so shocked and deeply saddened. Struggling to see the screen right now. I am so sorry to hear this dreadful news. I will be here If you should ever need me. Sending massive hugs your way. Love Pam. xx
andy, i'm new to your blog, came by way of 'call 4 support'.
wanted you to know that many people, even those you've never heard of, are praying for you. we're hoping for a miracle, but if not, at least that you find strength & remain comfortable. your online friends (old & new) are here for you. we are only a mouse click away.
if you have loved ones close, let them share this time with you, if you have loved ones far awy, let them know too. they love you & will help give you some type of peace.
God bless you, sending up a prayer & lighting a candle for you.

I'm so sorry. This serves to remind me that we never know what tomorrow will bring.
God bless you.
Andy, don't give up on yourself... the news is bleak, but don't take it as it sounds.... My grandfather had cancer, they gave him 6 months, and he lived a GOOD life, a life WORTH LIVING, for at another 5-6 years. Anything is possible, WILL to live.
I'm saying prayers for you.
I like what Joann shared. Will to live! I don't know if you ever saw the show "A-Team" but there was a gentleman, Dirk Benedict that faced off to cancer. He was given a bleak assessment too but proved them all wrong. I also concur with the others to surround yourself with love from family and friends. I'm pray God will give you peace and strength, and heal you.
So sorry to hear this. You are in my prayers. May God bless you and be with you and give you a much needed uplift. Helen
Andy, I am so sorry that you have been given this awful prognosis but I have known people be told the same sort of news, yet have lived years, rather than months. Please keep a positive attitude, live every day as if it is your last, as we all should do because who knows if we will ever see midnight.Do what you want and be with people you want to be with and we'll all pray for a miracle for you.
Love from Linda x.
I am truly sorry for you.
Those words don't feel adequate.
Know that your God is by your side every step of the way and you won't make the journey alone.
Sending hugs and prayers
.....thinking of you Andy.

Andy I am so sad to hear your news ~ you are in my thoughts and prayers ~ I was given the same news a few years ago but I am still here ~ where there is life there is HOPE ~ Please never give up on HOPE ~ Ally x
The words to comfort you won't come, but may it help you to know that you are so well thought of and prayers are going up for you - I've stopped by through our Support blog.
Oh Andy, I can only say how very sorry I am.
Much Love

DON'T EVER GIVE UP HOPING....
