So! A couple of days ahead of my normal schedule, just to keep you on your toes.

Today was results day and, like students waiting for end of year marks, we were just a little bit nervous. It is all very well being positive but when you do not have any guide posts to check and you are dealing with something like cancer one can't help being just a bit nervous. As it turned out the positive was what worked. All but one of Elaine's tumours have shrunk, some more than others, but a good result none the less. The one that went against the trend only grew marginally and our oncologist has decided to send it back to radiotherapy. The chemo will continue with just one of the drugs and I would think that we will measure again in another 6-8 weeks. It will be interesting to see how effective the one drug is as today's scan would be showing the results of half two drugs and half one drug.

Anyway we are happy with the results and hope that they continue to be positive.
