Not a lot to report. The pain is increasing both in magnitude and in new locations, but we are dealing with that as best we can. Our daughter Toni has arranged for a single bed (from Elaine's ex parents in law)  that has head and foot raising mechanisms and is now in Elaine's bedroom and seems to be making it easier for her to get in and out of bed. Thanks!

On the other side our oncologist is proving to be very hard to talk to, but our GP has had a few conversations with him. According to our GP they have been productive conversations. Dr Troon the oncologist has also had telephone conversations with the Peter Mac people in Melbourne apparently some good has come out of that.  This hasn't been communicated to us which I find rather annoying. However chemo has now been arranged for next Wednesday and we will get the details when we phone his rooms on Monday. I font like doctors treating me like an idiot but I guess we will have to put up with it as Geoff's (out GP) opinion is that he is good.
