All Systems Go

No bells here Steve, just kisses and cuddles - much more preferable.

Hi Ah,

Hugs and kisses to both of you. You are both a pillar of optimism.

Lots of love

Dafna

And another virtual hug from me for tomorrow. Have a safe journey home again and look forward to a nice relaxing weekend.

Well everyone. That's it. FINISHED. The final tally was 10 abdominal lymph nodes plus two areas on the adrenal glands. Apparently the success rate for the adrenal gland mets is about 85% so not quite as good as for the lymph nodes but still a lot better than doing nothing. A total of 30Gy, 6Gy per session and apparently the patient tolerated the treatment well -even though he was as sick as a dog it was expected because of where the radiotherapy was targeted but they didn't want to tell him before hand. The different antiemetics seem to suit him better as he is not as tired or foggy, but has still not stopped him puking up for a couple of hours after the session. He has been handed back to the Greek God now for follow up. The first test will be the MRI'S in 2 months time so I will update then.

Lots of hugs and kisses from all concerned but they hope they don't have to see us for a third time- in the nicest possible way.

All packed ready to go home tomorrow morning and a big thank you all for your support and keeping me sane.

Hello Alwayshope  - Great news and I am so pleased your little "holiday" appears to have been a success. I hope all's well tonight and I wish you a safe journey home tomorrow.

Thank you for keeping us updated with all the "Travel News"

Best wishes - Brian.

Well done to you and hubby! A difficult time for you both but you will soon be home and able to relax. I hope the treatment has worked supremely well and that your husband now goes from strength to strength.

love to you both x

Well done to you both! Have a good journey home and a lovely relaxing weekend! You both deserved a nice breakfast on the beach on Saturday.

Lots of hugs

Dafna

AH,

Thank you for letting us follow your husbands journey, you've been an excellent recorder of events, you've talked us through a complicated and difficult time and made it familiar and less scary for us. Safe journey home, you've both been amazing. x

Alwayshope, "All Systems Finished"

Bet you are both glad about that!  Hope hubby recovers soon and it'll soon be 2 months, and fingers crossed for the MRI results.  I'm sure they will be fine.

Just think, you could get some more lacy bits to celebrate!

What are you doing up so early Steve?

I have an excuse to be up as we just want to get home. Hubby is bright eyed and bushy tailed raring to get going, wanting to know if I have any chocolate brownies left for the journey home so obviously not feeling too icky.

You obviously have us women sussed. I went out yesterday afternoon whilst hubby was having his siesta and did have a bit of a splurge, but not lacy bits. There was something in the bag for hubby as well so conscience salved.
