She will now be on permanent chemo, once every three weeks, so this cycle of events will become part of our lives but I look at it as an investment in our future together. Jane has another appointment with the oncologist in three weeks time and thereafter once every three months so we assume the oncologist is happy that Jane's cancer is in remission.

Yesterday went very smoothly and she was called within minutes of her appointment time at 11am. They had a few problems getting a line into her veins so she didn't get started on the infusion until 12.30 but after that everything went very smoothly and we were out of the hospital just after 2pm.

The residual effects of the Docetaxel continue - hair falling out and finger nails becoming loose continue and it may be another three months before Jane sees some improvement.
