We have a date..........

April 5th, 2012,

Chris got a call advising that she was booked in for chemo on the 18th April, 2012, & prior to that they had her booked in for chemo education on the 17th. Chris was also booked in for more blood tests & another ECG on the 11th + a PICC Line was going to be inserted on one of those dates.

The type of chemotherapy treatment that Chris will be receiving will be ABVD (Adriamycin, Bleomycin,Vinblastine and Dacarbazine). This is to be given every 14 days. Under the clinical trial she will undergo two cycles of chemotherapy (which is two months) then she will undergo another PET scan to see how the treatment is progressing & then under go further chemotherapy.

So, we could start off Easter with a planned date to kill off these suckers. We all felt better about that & planned to have a nice relaxing Easter spending time together at Susie's wonderful house, in Balmain. All the Michaels family came together, to eat & just be together, it was so perfect. It's funny, people say you never appreciate what you have & I tell you, it's so true.
We were all cherishing every moment together. We all couldn't love Chris anymore if we tried.
Throughout this process, she has rarely broken down & maintains strength & positivity throughout...she really is something!
