Examination Results

Just a quick update to let you all know how Fintan got on at the Royal London last Wednesday.

He had an EUA to see if the chemotherapy has had any effect on the troublesome tumours. Fintan was not seen by his regular consultant, Mr Hungerford, as he is on holiday prior to retiring at the end of the month, however he was seen by another of the Rb specialists, Mr Reddy. Mr Reddy decided that Fintan should have the next course of chemotherapy. He explained that it was somewhat difficult to see exactly how the tumours had responded because the eyes were a bit cloudy due to some bleeding (a side effect of all the treatment Fintan has had to date), but he was confident that there has been some improvement.

The second dose of chemo will be administered next Wednesday at Great Ormond Street using the same intra arterial procedure as before.

Crisps make everything better!
