Day -04 Saturday 19 June

Jeanette at the helm of the blog now! Sorry - you are probably going to get the bullet points now and no jokes! As soon as Bruce gets back home I am sure they will all resume :)

Bruce went in last night (Friday) in time for his evening Chemo. Claire and Chris had their joint birthday party here at Allendale Road today so we didn't want to take the risk that he would get a bug from anyone given his treatment had already started.

Today they have allowed him to roam a little as his platelets are still OK so immunity not to bad. This enabled him to go and spend some time with Gerald, a friend who has cancer as well but in a different part of the ward.

Bruce has found out there is an exercycle within the small ward so he can go down to the room if he wants to exercise in a sterile room. I think it will be short lived as the chemo sets in but will be really great once he begins to regain his strength as he needs to balance his exercise,insulin and food intake being a diabetic.

That is all for now - BED TIME for me...its been a long day :)
