Finished in time for Christmas!

Fintan had his final dose of Radiotherapy today and coped really well as always. He is looking a little sore around the eyes at the moment and it may get worse before getting better, but it doesn't seem to bother him too much - he just gets a few funny looks when we are out and about!

Archie and Barnaby came to the hospital with us today so they could see where Fintan has been going for the last 5 weeks; they were totally unimpressed and very disappointed the drinks machine had run out of hot chocolate! However, we took them for a pizza, a trip on the underground and admired the Christmas window displays at Fortnum and Mason and Selfridges which they thoroughly enjoyed. Fintan found it all a bit busy and noisy and was pleased to get "home" (his word of the moment)!

Although we are glad it is all over and delighted not to have to travel into London at the crack of dawn each day, we will sort of miss Barts! The intensity of the treatment means you soon get used to the routine and you almost forget life pre-treatment, so we now need to adjust back to normal life.

Fintan will have an EUA (examination under anaesthetic) at the Royal London in about a month's time to see how the tumours have responded to the Radiotherapy. It seems like a long wait, but Christmas will help pass the time!

Here are few pictures of Fintan (with his lovely Teddy Bear present from the team who have been treating him at Barts).

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
