I haven't felt much like doing a blog for the last couple of days.
We visited our oncologist, Dr Troon, on Monday and learned that this cancer beast is behaving in a very unfriendly and aggressive manner. Not nice at all! We probably knew this but had not admitted it even to ourselves. He talked again about chemo and Elaine now has to decide whether the extra time is worth the risk of unpleasantness that goes with it. To add to the difficulty of that decision there is only a 30-40% chance of it working at all.
We also introduced the news that we had sent information to the Peter Mac cancer centre in Melbourne and that they had suggested a conference call to their 'unknown primary' specialists. He was a little taken aback and doesn't think that they will know more than him but, naturally, agreed to make the call. Probably today, so that we will see what happens and whether it changes the equation at all.
Naturally we are not very happy but we will continue to soldier on and make the best of it. The support from our kids and family and friends is fantastic. Thanks!
Always thinking of E and you and the family. Cancer we know sux and she has to do what is right for her. Spending as much time as you can with the ones you love we take for granted as we don't always get this opportunity as you know. I have known E since I was a little girl and seeing her in so much pain kills me. Anything Melb can suggest whether it works or not is worth the call. Love you both and here for anything you need. See you Friday.
