Half way through the intensive block

We had a good day today. Catherine is currently putting all the drawings and colourings and 'writings' that we have done this week into a scrapbook. We have done so many that I thought it would be an easier way to store all her works of art. The good news is that she now has neutrophils, so we can go out somewhere tomorrow and it will make Sunday much easier.

Next week is likely to be more intense than this week. We have another lumbar punch and a new chemotherapy drug due on Monday, and will be in hospital all day. This chemotherapy drug, Cytabarine, means Catherine needs four hours on a drip before she can have the drug. The following days, Catherine will need to receive chemotherapy every day through her portacath and 'wiggly'. Hopefully, she will be able to go to nursery for at least a couple of days next week. She is looking forward to seeing her friends.

Two more weeks of the intensive block to go! Then it will be onto maintenance.
