Last day of chemo for now

Dear friends,

I was lucky enough to spend an hour and a half at the hospital today with Cynthia and Harry and so had a first-hand look at just how well our little gaffer is continuing to be. Despite having started his final chemo bout an hour before I arrived, Harry was full of beans, wanting to bounce at every opportunity, exceedingly interested in both Mummy's lunch and mine, enjoying salmon for the first time in his life, and laughing uproariously at his exploits with, variously, the phone, Mummy's hand cream, my water bottle, and the night light.

As Cynthia's friend Jodi reminded us, the original intent of these first rounds of chemo had been to slow down the tumours' growth. The fact that last week's CT scan shows fewer tumours and smaller tumours means that Harry's treatment plan is working far more effectively even than it was originally intended to do.

If we weren't already over the moon about that, spending time with Harry would certainly send us there. At this point, his doctors expect to be able to discharge him by 11 am tomorrow (Wednesday). One more bit of news to celebrate this evening. Be well everyone,
