Mmmmmmmm.......I thought that I had done a blog since last Monday, but as I cannot see it I must be imagining it. I must be cracking up.

Anyway since last Monday we have had chemo again, the new chemo that is on Wednesday May 24. This time a bit of a schamozzle. We went first for a visit with our very nice pain specialist, Dr Chin Werne Chan, who basically rubber stamped the changes to Elaine's medication. The only change was to increase the sleeping tablet component as she was not, and still is not sleeping well. Then on to the chemo day ward for our 2.30pm appointment but on arrival we were informed that we were not expected. Ow that hurt, they informed us that our oncologists rooms had cancelled us the previous day, saying that we would be having the chemo as an inpatient in the ward upstairs. Strand seeing that we had seen Dr Troon on the Monday and he expected us to be in the day ward. So the very friendly day ward staff phoned his rooms and confirmed that we were to be treated. But the day ward was flat out, so we were sent upstairs and treated in the inpatient ward as a day patient!! Sounds a bit complex but it worked and we got home at 6.30pm......long day.

Since then Elaine has been fine, albeit with a little nausea and no more pain than normal. She has also not been sleeping anywhere near as much and is more alert both of which are bonuses which we hope will continue.

This week will see us at chemo again followed by a session with our oncologist.
