From one extreme to the other but by way of an excuse we have been a bit busy and I guess I just felt like a bit of a break from communicating.

Anyway as a result of the changed plans we started radiotherapy on Monday April 10 then had a break for Easter and are now back to daily visits to Genesis for treatment. Wednesday April 12 was busy with radiotherapy late morning at Joondalup followed by chemo at Hollywood then a visit with Simon Troon our oncologist. The visit with Simon confirmed the treatment plan and discussed the possibility that the reduced chemo is not as effective and the tumours are, once again, growing. This will be verified by a scan in a couple of weeks time. In the meantime all is proceeding as planned and yesterday was once again a long day of medical stuff.

Elaine is as usual handling all this well but has quite a bit of extra pain, resulting in the reinstatement of some of her medication. This of course does not assist with her memory or her reactions. However she did manage, with a lot of help from Toni, to organise Pesach for 14 of our family the rest being in Bali. We also got away in our motorhome to Woodmans Point and the boat for the weekend which was a nice break in routine.
