Chicken Pox

Just to let you know that Francesca is back into hospital this morning with suspected Chicken Pox. This is not good news at all. Will keep you all posted and will add new pictures soon.

Back onto Chemotherapy

After what feels like an age, Fran will be restarting her scheduled chemo (it was cancelled last month due to illness and then postponed last week as Charlie really did have chicken pox - we have no idea what he had last month!!!)

This week will be crazy! Tomorrow Francesca goes to Lewisham Hospital for a CT scan which will hopefully show lovely, healthy lungs - she will hopefully then be able to stop a daily medicine she's been on since Christmas. On Wednesday we are going to Great Ormond Street where she'll have a lumbar and we will get to see the consultant. Then on Thursday she'll have her delayed Vincristine and start steroids. I think she will be knocked for six.

When we see the consultant we will be discussing Fran's pain relief - we have found it increasingly hard to manage over the past few months and, whilst we are starting a new drug this week (to help) it is still something that concerns us.

All of the above aside, Fran and Charlie are wonderful and seem happy. Francesca has been able to attend school more often and that is a real benefit to her.

We are looking forward to the art auction in a couple of weeks time - remember, if you want to come book soon!

Thanks for always reading, catching up and supporting us. We really appreciate it.
