It's an unusual Friday for us as Caitlin doesn't have to have any bone marrow or lumber punctures today, which is great for us as it means a lie in till 7.
Caitlin had her usual review, weight is now over 3 & a half stone (!), blood pressure was a bit high & Caitlin has now been given some medicine to make her go to the toilet. The doctors think she might be constipated & it'll help her little belly.
She was given a cannula, quickly followed by the VCR which is the main chemo of today. Usually, at this point Caitlin would have some antibiotics, but the blood tests came back looking really good so she didn't need any. We also asked to see how the bone marrow tests were coming out & they came back really good too! Her blood pressure calmed down, & even her temperature had dropped. A small victory in a large battle, but we'll take it.
The only problem is, people around us are still getting more & more bad news & it seems to be getting worse. I don't think I've known so much sorrow and suffering in one month, but its the way it seems to be. Our thoughts are with all our friends & family who are having a tough time, & I can only hope it gets better for you soon.
