Elaine is doing well as evidenced by the range of activities in which she chooses to be involved. Shopping we take for granted as the first activity that any red blooded female does. Then we have by choice had lunch at the club and cheerfully babysit our granddaughters as often as possible, the latter is of course more a privilege and pleasure than a mere activity.

There are still issues such as nausea, tiredness and bits and pieces that hurt. but these are so much reduced in intensity that life is starting to get back to somewhere near normal. Or maybe simply a damnsight better that it has been. Elaine is still unable to drive and that annoys her somewhat, even though her chauffeur is quite happy to be just that.

We have restarted the second chemo treatment with day 1 of the first cycle last week and day 8 of the same cycle on Wednesday. It will be really nice if the side effects remain as limited as they have been, fingers (and everything else) crossed.
