Thus starts a new month and Elaine is going well and, according to her doctor and pharmacist, is looking good. She is too, but of course the issues still exist. She has put on a bit of weight, probably a combination of medication and reduced activity. She also has difficulty walking, but over all she is doing well. Of course there is still pain but the medication appears to be keeping this at a manageable level.

The side effects of chemo are still minimal, except for her various blood levels. This is an issue as it has resulted in a lighter dose of chemo and the possible resurgence of the tumours. We will find out more about that when we see the oncologist on Wednesday, after chemo, as he will have the results of today's ct scan.

We managed to spend the weekend down at Woodmans Point again and that did us both a lot of good. The down side was that I didn't get to have a sail and suffered a minor injury helping around the club. I will have to do something about being able to launch the boat without help.
