Thank you everyone for your kind words...
Unfortunately the prognosis doesn’t look good. During the initial scans they found a mass which they believe to be a tumour, the origin, of which they are not certain.
Following a phone call with the dr at 10.15 this morning they are continuing to monitor him but the want to move him to a side room.
During the night he deteriorated and as such this has negated any further scans.
They acknowledge that even for all his ailments he was a fit man but have advised us that should his heart stop then DNR is in place due to the damage done and poor prognosis.
Ironically his blood pressure is holding ( down to the fluids 🤷) his heart rate appears fine and he is breathing on his own.

At the moment we are unable to see him but I think that once they have found a side room then fingers crossed we can visit.
Mum and I discussed the dnr and whilst it’s hard we both agree unless he’s fully independent ( still drove to Asda yesterday morning &#128522 he couldn’t tolerate not going out with the dog and his hawk when he wanted ... clearly driving would be off the cards too so how he would get out to the farms he visits heaven only knows...
I guess one thing remains to be done and that is to cancel his speed awareness course in August 😊...

I am so very sorry that your Dad is so poorly, as you say a life with no quality is no life at all.

I hope you get a miracle x

I’m very sorry to read the update. I’m so pleased that you have been able to have a conversation with you mum about your Dad’s quality of life - that is so brave but so important. I hope you get to see him soon x
