Dear All!



Many thanks for your well wishes, thoughts and prayers. As of Friday (yesterday) Jack has just started his first session of chemotherapy (chemo). He is currently in Addenbrookes (Cambridge) and will be there for the next 5 days.


The chemo will go on for between 3 - 6 months depending on it effectiveness. There is the possibility that later chemo sessions will be carried out at Ipswich - great! - less travel. Ipswich will do the emergency care as his immune system collapses and he wont be able to cope with infections etc. The cancer is contained in the bladder. He has had all the test and scans - MRI, liver function, kidney function, bone marrow, CAT scan and a DOG scan for good measure!


Prognosis good - 8 odd years of treatment development, a good team at Addenbrookes who are very confident in catching this, and a small boy who is a wonder in himself - confident, chatty, not afraid and understanding everything that is being done to him and for him. He is also flirting with the nurses - little sod!



Many thanks again for your support.



Karl, Caz and Jack
