Chemo progresses. No new news on results but I’m sure people are working on the various biopsies. My complaint about the hip biopsies has gone into the system and will be formally processed. I now feel a bit bad but they’ve acknowledged this as terrible (their word) treatment and I feel it was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

We have a bit of a battle on with the insurer as they’ve initially rejected paying for this chemo program. However they have responded well to appeal, we’ll see how this goes. Mike from Callisto warned us there would likely to be a battle over this but we feel by having the consultants department deal with this and have to docs thrash it all out (ie not us) we have a much better chance.<\/p>\n

The really nice surprise is that Ben and Amy have come over for a few days. They get to see me of course but as they are planning to work here for a while soon it’s good for them to get to see a few areas too and people from Ben’s work. It’ll be a good visit for them and helpful for Helen as she won’t be alone at home for a few days. Ben and Amy were with us for most of the day before leaving just before 6 for a fast train home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
