23.11.07 We are home! Reid's operation went very well. Instead of a cast on his right leg he has a metal frame to support the fibular as it is the width of a pencil! He will have this on for approximately 3 months then it will be replaced with a leg brace of which he will have have for a year...but the best news is that the pathology report on Reids Tumour said that there is no residule cancer present therefore the chemo killed the cancer!! Not much else to say really. We have to go back to see the Oncologist and the Plastic Surgeon on Thursday next week and until then I just have to clean Reids Pin sites daily and change dressings and give anti biotics....but no hospital visits for a whole week!
(The pin sites are where the pins go into his leg..see pic)
we will commence post op chemo sometime week starting 25th November. which protocole we have to do I am not sure on yet but am hoping it will be one of the lower ones with only eight more treatments. I will keep you posted. xx
