With only 3 days of Radium treatment left (and 5 days of chemo) Joy's platelet count dropped to single figures (evidently, it should have been closer to three figures!) requiring that all treatment had to be stopped and Joy spent most of Friday in a day ward getting platelets gradually infused into her system. Her platelet count will be checked again tomorrow morning (Monday) and, all being well, treatment will continue where we left off. Joy was beginning to feel like a cyclist in the Tour de France and looks forward to being drug-free very soon.
Meanwhile Cape Town is cold, wet and nasty anyway, so being in bed is a pretty good place to be... not that England looks much better, but at least we have winter to blame (our thoughts really go out to everybody affected by the floods). So lots of R&R and keeping warm in bed is on the cards for the last leg this treatment. But our eyes for fixed on the finish-line and our spirits are strong so expect more soon.
Lots and lots of love...
