Second Time Lucky

Last Wednesday we were back at Great Ormond Street Hospital for a second attempt at treating Fintan with Intra Arterial Chemotherapy and thankfully on this occasion the procedure was a success. It was a very tense day and the time whilst Fintan was under seemed like the longest two hours ever, but a quick thumbs up from Dr Kingston brought on a huge sigh of relief.

Fintan was very groggy after the operation and once back in his room was a little sick which is unusual for him, however, some anti-sickness medication soon had him eating his sandwich and yoghurt. Since coming home, Fintan has been his usual self. Apart from a little sickness on Friday he has had none of the usual side effects associated with chemotherapy, which is a relief.

On 30th September, Fintan will be back at the Royal London to have an examination under anaesthetic to see whether the treatment has had any affect on the tumours, if it has he will return to GOSH for a repeat treatment the following Wednesday.

A little pre-treatment fun with 'wig'!
