Only just seen and read all this for the first time..... I am a bit speechless quite honestly (a rarity for me).... just offering my very best wishes to all of you, as others have said please keep us posted.
A lot of nonsense goes on in SN, but it's posts like this that focus the mind and remind us all that any sort of community even if only in the online world can be a great source of comfort at times like this.

Congratulations on the birth of your miracle. I hope the news keeps coming in positive for you and your family, and as F1 said above, I hope the forum community can at least give you the feeling that we are all behind you.

Sorry I've only just seen this thread, have to say reading it I'm filling up.
I can't imagine the worry and pain you've both suffered and my heart truly goes out to you and your daughter.
From what I remember you're only still quite young and it really hits home when something like this happens.
I really hope the progression remains positive and her life improves.
Best wishes.

Good news about your wife, and of course the new arrival 
Question is, how are you holding up? Yeah, sounds like an un-man like thing to ask, but you're looking after quite a few people, who is looking after you? Probably just yourself, in which case, make sure you are doing as good a job on yourself as you are on others.

Congratulations to both of you on the birth of your daughter.
I am so sorry to hear of your problems, I sit here writing with tears in my eyes. I hope it all turns out well for you, you now deserve some good luck. From personal experience I know cancer can be beaten. My honest opinion is that you should confide in your elder daughter, but that's something for you to decide.
God be with you and your family. I'll follow this thread with hope.

Thanks for all the comments and support my friends.
Pimmo - shes 31. Its hard going to the cancer wards and being the only couple not in retirement. It was hard enough being in the maternity wards and watching the "happy couple" walk out with their bundle of joy whilst we remain with this sickness hanging over us - but melodramatic but the thought did occur to me.
Lots of people have asked if I'm alright. I think I am now. I wasn't at first but couldn't really show it in front of Kelly or our daughter so had to pick my moments to let it all out - usually in the car on the way to Swansea. Although it was a pain driving to Swansea every day it governed my day and occupied my mind. Once they were both back in Haverfordwest the first couple of days were really hard as I didn't have that focus anymore and I had time to consider what was happening.
We actually did something normal yesterday. My mum lives on one of the local marinas and we stay there over the weekends as her bath his much shallower than ours and has hand rails so Kelly can get in and out - plus its a flat so no stairs to deal with. Anyway, Kelly was determined to walk Eva in her pushchair so we walked from the flat to the marina cafe and had lunch there and walked back. Its probably not even a mile there and back but its something she would not have been able to do pretty much since October of last year.
