[QUOTE="BibaBee, post: 1854927, member: 479239"] Thank you both. There is a danger he may not get out of bed for treatment. We are on day 5 now and he still very depressed and refusing to get up. We have an appointment for laser on Tuesday next week, injections the following week. He hasn't said he won't attend and a lot will depend on who he sees. If it is just the treatment and he doesn't need to discuss prognosis, we may get through it okay. I have asked PALS to clarify what will happen. We have appointments for further diagnostics and consultation, but I can cancel these and rearrange for a later date to buy us some time. My plan is to get the treatment started and make enquiries about a referral elsewhere. I don't want to delay treatment, but it would be good to know our options. Thanks for your support. This is unbearable for him and I'm desperately trying to hold it together. [/QUOTE]
