Joan is back on track with her Chemotherapy and today had a full dose of rat poison and brought home 'her' pump to infuse the last 100ml of fluorouracil over 48 hours.
We were concerned that the low white blood cell count would not have improved enough to recommence chemo. Fortunately all was well. Another good bit of news was that the CEA tumour marker (CarcinoEmbryonic Antigen) has once again fallen from the initial 9,100 to 1,300. Got to be good news there!
We also asked about our chances of going to Brisbane in May for a Papua New Guinea reunion. He reckons there will be no problem doing that so we will go ahead and make plane, car and hotel bookings for a week away.
Our daughter Helen teaches a child who is 'not the sharpest tool in the shed' and she suggested that I give the family a computer for educational games and internet connection. I have set up two Macs, one with an older operating system which has dozens of really good educational packages and another for Mum and Dad to hook up to the net. I talked to the family tonight and they are really stoked. I will deliver them next week and do a quick instructional course on their use.
At the same time I deliver those machines I will deliver another more up-market Mac to Vera's sister who needs something to occupy her so that she doesn't scoot off to the Casino. That is not my assessment of the situation...blame Vera.
