It's time for another update (sorry Roy !).....time has whizzed past since the last update and we're now reddying ourselves for Chemo session #6. We went in last Friday but as it wasn't quite 3 weeks since the previous chemo, her blood counts weren't quite up to it as I had somewhat suspected....so it's back tomorrow for another try. Hopefully all will be well for tomorrow....so the babe will be in again with her sister at 9:00am for blood test and assuming all is ok then will go up onto the ward for drugs drugs drugs.....
This could be the last one but we still don't actually know for sure whether they are planning for another 3 chemo's or not.....when we went in on Friday the plan was to see the consultant main-man type chappie to discuss ongoing treatment and the last scan results - but he was basically only in hospital for an hour or so and was not planning to see us as he was supposed to be on holiday.....some great lack of communication somewhere !! So he will make a decision we are told after he comes back as to whether Karena still needs another 3 sessions or not.
The babe is really tired bless her - not sure why apart from just trying to do too much probably and perhaps the cumulative nature of the treatment....aside from this though she is ok and in good heart.
Not much more to report...would very much appreciate your prayers for tomorrow (20th) that her blood counts would be ok, that the chemo would go ahead without problem, and for general strength and resistance to infection (incl. H1N1 et al !)....
Will try to remember to update in a few days time (remind me Roy !)
