We have settled back into life in Castlemaine after a few restless nights wandering around the house at 3.30am in the morning. After the warmth of the northern hemisphere, with days lasting until 11pm we came back to dark frosty nights starting at 5.30pm. It's still taking us a while to get used to the chilly winter here, but we are rejoicing that there has been so much rain.
As we expected, the tumors in Ray's liver have started to grow again and a tumour has been located in his lung. The planned course of action is for him to resume the chemo treatment he had started before our trip. The first dose is tomorrow (Wednesday). After 12 weeks of feeling pretty much normal, it's not something Ray is looking forward to at all. Saying all that though we are so very grateful for the opportunity to experience our trip abroad, memories and reflections we will continue to talk about for years to come. The girls are loving reconnecting with friends and school and Mum and Dad are slowly engaging with their garden and the Castlemaine community again.
Blessings to you all
