Chemo 4 - And The Half Tme Score

Chemo 4 - you know the drill as well as me by now.
This time there's added spice because we've to tell the nurse to beep Dr Farquharson and she'll come down and give us the lowdown as to what's going on inside me - the result of last week's CT scan.
After about half an hour, I see her in the 'wee room' looking at the computer but then she disappears. Obviously, I'm not her only patient and she's a very busy lady. About an hour later, she re-appears in Area 4. My Chemo stuff is flowing in so it's just a case of waiting patiently. And nervously. And frightenedly. (That's probably not a proper adverb but you'll know what I mean.)
At last she arrives - as bright and breezy as ever. She's had a look at the scan . . . . and the news is . . . . :
Kidney - CLEAR!
Liver - MUCH REDUCED!
Everywhere else - NEGLIGIBLE!
I'll just repeat that:
Kidney - CLEAR!
Liver - MUCH REDUCED!
Everywhere else - NEGLIGIBLE!

All in all, it's as much, if not more than we could have hoped for at this stage.
It's incredible - this stuff really works.

What a relief. That's an understatement. It's all very emotional and even needed some high fives. We thank the Doc and then she's off again to save someone else.

This is actually the last time we'll see her in a professional capacity because Dr Davies is returning from his sabbatical and she's moving to pastures new. It doesn't seem enough just to say thanks for what she's done but it just can't be put into suitable words.
Thank you, Dr Farquharson. Despite the circumstances, it's been a pleasure meeting you and you've been brilliant.

After Chemo, the news is out. The Mums, Shona, Greg, everybody is happy and great messages and phone calls come flooding in.
This has been a great day - a Red Letter Day - the exact opposite of 21 January.

Now, I know it's only half time but least the n-hl knows that it's got a game on its hands. I reckon that the score is maybe 13-10 to us. (It got two early tries before we knew we were in the game but we've come back strongly and a late drop goal has given us the lead.)
And now it knows what it's up against! Team Craig are going to be no pushovers.
Bring on the second half.
