Well it has been a slog to get this far but Emma's platelets are at a good enough level to start chemotherapy. It has taken a long time for the platelets to recover from the little radiation therapy she was able to have.

In the meantime Emma's contition has slowly but surely worsened. She is not now able to walk unaided. This is very diffcult for Emma to bear and for us to watch. We have had to install a stair lift to enable her to get out of the house, and other aids to help her lot. Some days her vision gets very blurred and headaches are becoming more frequent.

We all try to stay upbeat and positive, but it is very hard to maintain at times, especially when Emma herself is down.

Chemotherapy will hopefully start on 4th December.
