Better News!

Fintan was back at the Royal London on 1st December (a week later than scheduled due to him being poorly) for an EUA. We are pleased to report that the radioactive plaque treatment to Fintan's left eye appears to have been successful and the tumours are no longer active.

However, his right eye is still being obscured by retinal bleeds and some areas have now clotted; Fintan is not able to see much with this eye and the consultants' view of the retina is very limited so they cannot be sure if there are any active tumours. They are not too worried at the moment as there are no obvious signs of activity and were happy to give Fintan an 8 week gap before his next appointment. This longer interval made us a little nervous, but we reached a compromise of a 6 week gap and Fintan is due back on 12th January.

We are hoping that 2011 will be a better year for Fintan and that his visits to the Hospital become a little less regular!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
