Okay today is Friday and yes there has been no blog since Sunday mainly because we have been busy and there is nothing new to report.

This has been a chemo week, day 1 of the 3rd stanza was Wednesday, and that means that we had a blood test on Monday. Just a quick trip down the street, about 500 mtrs, walk in and take ticket, the lady comes out takes you in then jab/suck and it is all over. The bloods were obviously alright because they proceeded with the chemo on Wednesday. However Dr Troons rooms forgot to write up the anti-nausea drip and that delayed proceedings. Eventually it all happened and I went for a walk returning not long before it was all finished.

Net result was that we kept our 1.45pm appointment with Dr Chan, the pain specialist, at 2.45pm. Not bad eh! As usual he was cheerful, friendly and efficient but it still meant that we did not get home until 4.30pm. As she got out of bed at 9.30am it was a long day for Elaine and there was more to come. A duty to preform which had us home at about 9pm. Long day for madam.

That is about it, Elaine is still doing well and in fact has cooked twice this week. We are well aware that cancer is an erratic and persistent disease however we have remained positive all the way through this and the progress so far has cheered us up somewhat. We are hopeful that it will continue. Elaine is having scans next Tuesday and that will be the defining moment.
