Yesterday was a marathon we spent 18 hours traveling and at the hospital phew. But it was time well spent Peter had 2 units of blood and has pinked up nicely for Christmas.
There were long discussions with the team and we have decided to try the Gatsby Trial.
appointments for preliminary trial tests have been agreed and will be completed by 3rd January so Peter should start chemo on 6th January.
6 weeks after Peter commences trial a CT scan will determine whether he should continue or switch to a different regime.
We are fortunate Peter's team have moved on this so quickly and feel lucky that we have this firm plan in place so soon.
Our last pre Christmas appointment is at the hospice on Monday.to sort out analgesia.
Morale is restored, even a visit form Peters sister today with whom he has a tenuous relationship couldn't dampen the euphoric atmosphere here.
