Well, Christmas came and went and apart from a slight temperature on the morning of the 25th, K has stayed remarkably well. We all had a great Christmas Day at home and we were joined by our friends on Boxing Day. Today we went to the cinema to see "Zoom" (no, I'd never heard of it, either) however K enjoyed it. Made better by the fact that we were the only three in the screening!

We really happy that we've managed Christmas at home this year, with no hospital visit. It's possible that K has got over the worst side effects of the chemotherapy, that and the fact that it's a lower dosage. Next week sees another session of chemotherapy over 2 days and the radiotherapy will start on 2nd Jan 2007, every day, five days a week for about 6 weeks. It's going to be a strain, as it's done on an outpatient basis at the Marsden, but it does mean that the light at the end of the tunnel is, we hope, getting closer and brighter.

So, hopefully this is the last blog of 2006. We wish you all the very best for 2007!
