Wed 21st October

Last radiotherapy over!
No terrible side effects so far. Still discussion and thinking to go about palliative chemo - whether to do it? where to start it? Both Brisbane and Darwin are options.
Helen finished her oral antibiotics for pneumonia on Tuesday and had a temp of 38 deg on Wed morning so I guess maybe that collapsed lung is still infected. Disappointing - I was so pleased she wasn't suffering hot/cold anymore. Still she wasn't too uncomfortable with it - just wanted to rug up a bit more.
Exciting new news in terms of wellness - she has been able to read all of her 2 new Dorothy Porter books (previously couldn't really read as she was too weak) and can also watch short television shows! The little things...
