on the up

Very glad to report that Pads is feeling quite well. He's still quite tired in the mornings but later on in the day he's positively buzzing. Yesterday Ally was working the brain-tumour clinic and met one of P's Drs. He was tutting about how awful the 'Packer protocol' is, the treatment regime that Pads is on. Adults and children get the same doses. Vincristine was a particularly nasty drug, by all accounts... The Dr predicted a further few months of unpleasant side-effects. For us though, we're just happy to be seeing some signs of improvement.
