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.
