Kiera had her last blast of radiotherapy to her head on Tuesday and yesterday had a bone marrow biopsy. The biopsy involved a general anaesthetic and then removal of bone marrow from her pelvis, through two small holes in her back which is still a bit sore from the op. Over the last few days she has continued to improve in her strength, morale and general demeanour and it's been great watching her draw, paint and do general arty stuff that's been beyond her capabilities recently. The radiotherapy is a gradual process and we hope that it's a good sign that she is making a recovery but there is still the chance that she may go "downhill" as it takes effect. Her chemo is scheduled to start on 16th April (a day before her birthday) but it will allow us to have some quality family time together over the Easter holidays.
