CT day

Well today was a nice cool day to drive into Brisbane at least the girls stayed asleep right up til we where about to leave, Alex didn't want to go nothing new there. on the drive in we had to start the ORAL contrast YUCK but she has the NGT so that helps alot with getting it down at the right times :) then we arrive at out-patience and she gets bloods done etc while we wait out the time for the CT, then off to radiology, as we are walking down I said to Alex here we go to see the donut ( what she calls it ) but she goes I don't like the Donut it makes my bottom and tummy hurt :(  but in saying that she did very well as they had me stay out of the room. they did think about taking the NGT out but was glad they didn't have to as its not something I wanted to go through again :(
then back to outies to wait to see the Dr and the girls start getting restless so we head out to the play ground for some fun while waiting and then off to the cafe for a small lunch then back to outies for more waiting...

They De access her port so her bloods must have been good but we still had a wait for the Dr. finally get in to see Dr Tim and looking out the window it started to rain heavily  I said Oh No I have towels on the line and Dr Tim goes "Bugger Bugger Bugger we have washing on the line too" hehe. but we get scan results and  blood results bloods good but she is still neutropenic ( VERY LOW so have to watch temps as a fever means a trip to hospital asap) then scan results the (Cancer tumors that are on the lymph nodes AORTA have definitely shrunk good news but their is a spot (shadow ) on her lung that will need to be watched its very small but just have to wait and see it may vanish with time.
so we finally get out have to book for another CT in Jan 2010 and an appointment for port access with bloods plus see Dr.Tim just before new year have to get a blood test next week too but may get that done here at Ipswich save the drive to brisbane...
