Monday was a return trip to Addenbrooke's with a twist. Instead of coming home afterwards I was to drop Caitlin off at Nanny Sally's where the girls would be all week as we're having a new boiler fitted at home.
We got to Addenbrooke's at 11am and it was ridiculously busy!!! I don't think I've ever seen it so busy. We sat with some friends we'd made who had been diagnosed at the same time as Caitlin, and were currently two weeks ahead due to the setback of chickenpox. It was the dreaded "long day" for them which meant an early start for a lumber puncture and then all day chemo till very late in the afternoon. That's what we have to look forward to in two weeks!
Caitlin's chemo was fairly routine but I did get an opportunity to meet the child psychologist and a chance to go through what Caitlin has been like and what we can do to counteract her attitude. It was fairly helpful and hopefully will be beneficial later on.
The post title then becomes obvious, M11, M25, A12. I sat on all of them for quite a while getting to Grays and then eventually home. Thankfully I had the cars air con sorted a few months ago as poor Caitlin would have been so uncomfortable. Luckily, she slept all of the way home, and missed all of it.
Apart from the steroids which Alisha is giving her, she hasn't got any major chemo for two weeks now, which will be the long day...
I'll update before then.
