The St. Vincent's Cancer Centre is very good, but so far we have seen three oncologists in three visits, all nice young women. Today's reviewed last Friday's blood tests and talked to Nan about the last round of chemo. We were disappointed to discover Nan has not actually gained weight (52kg). The doctor said many people report feeling a bit of 'fog' during chemotherapy, and this is consistent with how Nan has been feeling about her memory. Nan is on a new regime of 3 tablets night and morning for two weeks, a week off, a blood test, and then back to the doc on Monday 8 July. She'll have a scan in August, to see if the drugs are making any difference to the tumours. After the appointment, we went to see Olga Silver who is an in-patient at St. V's following a fall (?fractured humerus). Tomorrow Nan is speaking at a service honouring an old and dear friend, Helen.
