Another visit to Genisis today but more later.
Elaine has had a bad couple of days, make that a few days with high pain levels. In fact very high on a couple of those days requiring more breakthrough medication than has been required for some time.
That might have been partly due to the side effects of the pain medication, hopefully so and it will go away of its own accord.
Dr Chee at Genesis today has sent Elaine off for another CT scan and will have his staff book her in for more radiotherapy aimed at the groin lump. Other than that he didn't add much to our knowledge base. He did however show us the X-rays so that we could see the size and location of the lump, not very nice stuff and obviously a little upsetting.
Later we had a visit from a lovely Silver Chain lady, not our usual lady who is on holidays, but like every one that we have met from this organisation a very nice person. She discussed the medications and agreed that the reduction has, at this stage, not been successful. So between us we modified the routine a little and even though Elaine required breakthrough later in the night we may be on the right track.
I am continuing this on Wednesday, having started on Tuesday and been interrupted. I mean..........how dare anyone interrupt a genius at work!
This morning Elaine had the CT scan as ordered and we look forward to hearing about the results when we next visit Genesis. As it turns out we will be there tomorrow to get measured up for the next treatment which will start next week. Lyla has invited us to a grandparents morning tomorrow which we will attend but will have to leave early to get out to Genesis.
Always thinking of E and sending my love
