Things have been pleasantly quiet recently. No medical tests, no more news from doctors, no sickness! Boring is good.
For anyone who has been counting weeks, Ali would have been due for her chemo treatment today if she hadn't had problems with her white cell counts last time. We've pushed the treatment back to next Monday.
It will be a pretty big milestone for a couple of reasons.
First, it will mean Ali is halfway through her chemo. We're expecting that she will have six treatments all up this time.
Second, Ali is due to have some scans shortly after this next treatment. As there are no tumour markers or other blood tests to monitor Ali's progress, CT scan is the best way to observe how everything is progressing. These tests will be important because it will give the doctors an indication of how effective the chemo is and how aggressive the cancer may be.
So, as next week gets closer, we're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that we start to get some good news. We'll be sure to let you all know how things go as we get the results.

Yay for a quiet spell, but the real question Andrew is could you have found a more amusing photo of yourself for the bio pic...

Hi Andrew,Ali,Kids
Glad to hear you've had some rare quiet time to carry on with your usual hectic lifestyle. You're due some good news,we'll keep everything crossed!!! Lyn & Allan xxx
Ali and Andrew - great to see you and the kids on the weekend. For those of you who have not seen Ali's wig - it is very boring - well - it looks EXACTLY like her own hair!! Ali - you looked absolutely gorgeous as ever which was extremely reassuring as hopefully this means that your body is doing a great job of fighting the cancer. Thinking of you while waiting on these results. Lots of love Rach xx
