Again it's been a while since I posted anything, and again because not a lot has been happening. While we have been waiting for the clinical trial to come up, life has been so normal, I could almost believe the whole horrible "Big C" thing isn't happening to us.
Apart from still feeling the tumors as "stinging stitches" now and then, Ray is looking and feeling well otherwise. The girls are happy and very involved in their school and social lives. Tahnee turned 13 last weekend and had a fantastic birthday party down at the Barkers Creek Cricket Hall with 26 of her friends. Marli is becoming a "Master Chef" honing her skills at making delicious cupcakes for her Saturday market stall.
We heard last week that the original clinical trial Ray was hoping to get on, doesn't look like it will be going ahead. Ray has had lengthy discussions with Mark, our Bendigo oncologist, and they have come up with some alternative courses of action. At the moment we are looking at another clinical trial which is being done at Western General Hospital in Footscray. An appointment is being made for Ray to see the doctor there the week after next. Will keep you posted on the outcome.
Best wishes to everyone. Hope you are all well, happy and enjoying and appreciating life!
