Day 35 - Court Jester or “ The Fool”
Renene counts down and now day 6 of remaining current treatment regime . Last day of “ Chemo” today and most of day in chair . Early morning start with some oral meds to prepare and pre- empt the nausea and then “fluids, fluids , fluids . “Cisplatin” the nasty today, Etoposide banished on Friday. The dexamethazone definitely helps and probably had me still buzzing at 16h00 as I could not stop myself commenting on “social media”.!!!!
Kids stopped by to say cheers whilst in waiting room early morning before travelling off up North to our home in Kerikeri. Visits with doggies and grandparents and a little touristy stuff on the cards . Even some geo- cache activity perhaps ?

| Seems colour runs in the family and “ the walls” |
All in all the day went well. Side effects ( shouldn’t talk too soon) have been tolerable . Pit stops to toilet frequent care of all fluids , and “Chemo room- I am outa here”.

| Radiation burn the ongoing side effect we still needing to manage actively for the next “wee” while |
Rest the order of the day according to Renene and “teddy” . So good to see “teddy “ back on his couch.
Quiet night in . Video call with Brother Keith, some explanation and delegation of property management to kids to ensure all guests comfortable and tonight probably the latest to bed in ages
