So saw the consultant this morning (she was very nice). Its the same ovarian cancer as before. The fact that it has been in remission so long is good news as it means that it should respond well to gently chemotherapy. Mum will only have one type this time round so she shouldn't lose her hair like she did on the second course of treatment and the anti-sickness stuff they give her has improved and so she shouldn't feel as sick as she did the first time. She will have one session every 3 weeks for 18 weeks i.e. six cycles. She has her initial assessment on Thursday (finally they're quick about something) and so the course should start soon. And that's what we know today.
National Botanic Gardens tomorrow. Hooray. Back to Manchester Thursday. That's all. J x
