03:37grandfathers account came from the surf club funds I've been set up they're trying to make
03:42it look like I've misappropriated surf club funds to run my campaign but how could they do that

11:44i think you might regret that
11:46yeah well i reckon we can do a damn side better than that interfering old bag
11:49yeah but that's a decision for both of us to make
11:53look i am sick and tired of her behaving like the queen of ruddy sheep
11:57yes settle down what about your behaviour
12:10i was thinking if we had a bit of time after the results i might buy some flowers for colleen
12:15thank you for today
12:16yeah
12:18flip
12:21sorry about the weight
12:23what did the PET scan show great
12:27the news isn't as positive as i'd hoped
12:31as you know i wasn't expecting to see much improvement this early in the treatment
12:35i wanted to do a full PET scan at this stage so we could compare later scans
12:39see what was happening
12:40what's it showing
12:44not only has there been no shrinkage thus far
12:46there's also been quite a significant growth
12:49in the secondary tumour
12:50since the last scan
12:57so what do we do now
12:59we'll continue with the same program
13:01but we'll increase the number of chemo sessions
13:03to see if that helps speed up the impact of the treatment
13:10yeah
13:20keep us down
13:27she was a dream tonight
13:28thank goodness
13:34you know even though the results weren't what we'd hoped for
13:39i still think we need to stick to our plan
13:42we still need to stay positive
13:46even you said that
13:47the drugs would take a bit more time to work
13:49and dr matthew said more sessions would help
13:51i've had enough
13:53i'm nagging you
13:54no
13:54i've had enough of the chemo
13:56i'm stopping the treatment
