Update 12 - 28th July 2008

Hi one and all

We have just spent the afternoon at the hospital.

Thankfully the insertion of a permanent ‘infusion line’ through a vein in Liz’s arm round to her heart was successful. This avoids the need for a surgical operation in the theatre which we were told is not very pleasant.

We have to go back tomorrow lunchtime to have the chemo pack installed which will drip feed the chemo into a vein 24 hours a day. I think we will have to go to the hospital once a week for the next 12 weeks to have the chemo ‘topped’ up. There will be another scan in about 12 weeks to check on progress.

Hopefully the result will be better than the last time.

Liz is also able to stay on Warfarin tablets which is another positive, as it avoids the necessity for me to give her an injection in her stomach every morning, which neither of us enjoy very much!

All for now.

Dick
