I arrived at the cancer clinic at about 9:15 this morning, still wired after playing a great party in Bayfield, getting home at 2:00 am. Dr. Potvin had the results of the thoracic CT scan and the head MRI. The hope was that there might be on or two brain lesions responsible for Nick's dramatic neurological decline. No such luck. The cancer, grown chemo and radiation resistant, has proliferated in Nick's brain. There's no way to stop its growth, and it's ineroperable. Nick has days left. They're keeping Nick in hospital, as to send him home would result in horrific, traumatic consequences. The best they can do is try to make Nick's exit as peaceful as possible. Nick's six year battle is finally coming to an end. These six years have been trying, but we've not been without help, hope and support along the way. We love and deeply appreciate everyone who's had our backs during this time.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. I never had the privilege of meeting Nicholas but I did have the privilege of meeting the both of you. I was able to bring some happiness to your family in the way of a St. Bernard named Douglas. I remember watching the video of the day you brought Douglas home and the look on Nicholas's face and how happy he was. God bless you both your family is in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI just returned from breakfast down town with Lani and Wawu, log on my computer and went to your blob to check on Nickolas and found this note. I can't imagine Nick going in peace as he was quite the fighter. Though in his early twenties, he had lived life fully, his way, and god bless him for it!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that Nicholas is gone. Jila and I send our love from England. His suffering is over and now your healing can begin.
