It was a great weekend for all the family, with presents being exchanged and opened as if it was the 25th! On Monday we were all at the Royal Marsden for a kidney function test and also to have a planning session for the radiotherapy that starts in the new year. They have put three very small black dots on her which the radiotherapy scanner will line up on each time to ensure that the same area is being zapped! The dots were done by placing some black ink on her and then a small pin prick, just like a tattoo. School is now over and we don't know what lies ahead over the next few days. Going on past experience we estimate that there is a reasonably good chance of being in the isolation room at Kingston over the Christmas period, in fact the 25th is a good bet. We'll just have to wait and see.

I've said it here many times but once again, THANK YOU to everybody who visits the site to check up on Kiera. The support, love and affection has really touched all three of us. The past 12 months has been an emotional roller coaster, from the highs of Australia and Hong Kong, to the lows of diagnosis and the effects of treatment. But it has been made easier knowing that we have so many friends close by and around the world supporting us and thinking about us. Thank you so much! We hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the New Year will bring you all that you desire.
