Kiera's back home this afternoon, via Kingston where she had the staples in her head removed. Not too painful a procedure and soothed by the offer of £1 per staple, so that's probably the easiest £21 she'll earn!

She and some friends are planning to see "Mama Mia" in London on Monday afternoon, followed on Tuesday by a "Mosaic Party" at home with some friends and the team who are doing the mosaic in the children's wards at Kingston.

Wednesday it's off to the Marsden where she will have a bone marrow test, which involves another spell under general anaesthetic. Then later in the day she'll meet the radiologist where her next treatment for her brain tumour will be planned.

She's come home with more drugs than Boots which will see her through until the radio therapy starts. As for chemo, there will be more at some time.
