Tuesday 25th August

Treatment went ahead as usual. The weekly interview with the research team also went well, although with nothing new to report really. The catch up with the consultant was the same. The same questions seem to get asked every week, with me feeling as if I'm repeating the same answers. Not sure whether this is a good thing (i.e. things haven't got any worse!) or whether they are expecting more detail...

Chemo day today so straight to the Kinderpsital post proton therapy, to drop bloods in for testing. Within 20 minutes the results are available in the day care clinic, and we get the news that his blood count is STILL too low to start the next lot of chemo. That means a quick exit, but another nagging worry about whether this is too long to be without the chemo...

The boys are desperate to go on a tram (having been so deprived to never have been on the Nottingham tram even!) so we walk down the hill from the hospital and catch the tram into the downtown area. Yet again, they loved it as only toddlers and pre-schoolers can!
