doctor Le Duc was pretty upbeat today. He reckons that the chemo has shrunk the tumours. A pity that there was a scan missing between the two he was comparing! Ron will still have to continue with chemo but LeDuc has changed one of the drugs as Cisplatin can damage the kidney function. He was taking alimta and cisplatin. Better news is that for the new chemo he will not have to go to hospital and stay in for 24 hours but the nurse can come and administrate it here at home. It will take about 2 hours. Not having to face hospital food is a plus. I feel a bit better now and the doctor has said that we can go on a little holiday to the UK even flying.
