Well I should have done this last night, but better late than never.

We have had a reasonable week with the usual chemo on Wednesday and as usual Elaine is handling it all very well. The port made chemo easier as they didn't have to go looking for a vein. Pain is still the ever present issue and she had nerve blocks on Saturday for the pain in her chest. However they do not appear to have worked. Overall the pain level is up a bit at the moment and for the first time in 2 months we need a daily dose of break through medication.

Our visit to the oncologist on Monday was good as we appear at the stage, based on the scan results, to be holding our own against the cancer. The current treatment will therefore continue for the time being, on a weekly basis.

So we are still positive although Elaine is putting up with a lot of pain, severe loss of energy and hair loss. But as I said she is handling it well.
