Latest news......

Well, I had my appointment yesterday with the Medical Oncology team. I can't believe I was the only person there but they were still running really late!
Anyway, no news yet on the oral chemo drug. It seems it's a good thing that they are thinking about it, apparently the alternative is a flat out no so I am pleased to have avoided that one. The thought of going through another infusion really doesn't appeal at all! They did book me in for another "Just in case" I change my mind about the infusion and decide to go ahead now. Not bloody likely I don't think. They also discussed a porta cath wih me. That's were they put a permanent line in so each time they aren't poking around looking for a vein. They put it in your chest and it is a procedure with stitches to get it in, but once it's in it's done for good I think. There are a few risks involved in having the porta cath inserted but hopefully I won't have to worry as that oral medication will be approved.
The doctors were really happy with my scan results. They are not worried about the bone mets yet as they are not causing me any grief. Apparently, they will only do something if there is pain or if it's in one of the long bones because there is a risk of breakage as the cancer eats away at it.
On a totally different topic, thanks for the caravan park recommendations Bec. We will be staying at Blue Lagoon not this weekend but the weekend after. I am really looking forward to it all ready. It can't be as bad as Toowon Bay and we couldn't be unlucky enough to have noisy horrible patrons again I'm sure. The park looks a lot smaller so it should work out well.
We are also looking for a new Au Pair at the moment. It's taking a little longer than it did the first time around. They are all hiding out!! Maybe they have heard about us now!
Well that's about it for now.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
