Another week another chemo treatment or in this case 2 chemo treatments.

Last week after our treatment we went to visit first our pain specialist then our oncologist and it turned out to be a very long day, we got home from our 11am  appointment at 7pm. Anyway to get back to the subject at hand, first Dr Chan the pain guru who changed Elaine's medication increasing the pain reduction stuff. Then we visited Simon Troon our oncologist and he found a lesion that has been eluding us for weeks. Elaine has a pain in her left chest below her boob and dispite the fact that we knew something was happening no one could find anything. But on Wednesday Elaine showed him a lump which he then found on the latest scan and thereby identified another, 1cm, tumour located between her ribs. Damn. So he booked us in for another 3 weekly treatments and because Wednesday's are very busy we have had a go at Monday which was busy when we got there, a 45 minute wait, but was almost empty by the time we left at 3pm.

Overall Elaine's week has been very painful requiring lots of breakthrough medication which had limited success. Hopefully the change of medication will kick in and make this a better week
