Update

Fintan was back at the Royal London last week (28th April) and we are glad to report that Mr Reddy was in agreement with Mr Hungerford regarding Fintan's left eye - the cryotherapy appears to have worked, but another light freeze was applied to be on the safe side. However, Mr Reddy picked up a suspicious area in Fintan's right eye; some more of the old haemorraghing had cleared showing some possible activity to which cryotherapy was applied.

Having had melphalan (the intra-arterial chemotherapy) only 6/7 months ago made us question the possibility of activity in the eye so soon, therefore, we consulted Mr Hungerford who advised he had looked long and hard at this suspicious area in Fintan's right eye but felt it was not active, however, an application of cryotherapy would do no harm. He also advised that there can be a recurrence/new activity following Melphalan. We seem to have so many questions at the moment and this helped to answer some of them.

Fintan is back at the Royal London on 26th May; hopefully we will have something a little more positive to report.

Cake time!
