Steve got out of hospital last Wednesday and has spent the last week building up. His last blood results were good and he is feeling stronger and better each day (apart from a sore back from spending too long on those horrid hospital beds!).
We were happy he was out in time for the anticipated arrival of our grandson on the Wednesday but even more happy that the baby decided to wait until Steve improved his health over the week.
So...I'm happy to inform you that Steve and I ARE GRANDPARENTS!!!!
Sidney Hugo entered the world last night at 10.44 pm and it was great that Steve felt up to meeting him in hospital.
Papa Steve got the best present a parent could ever wish for!
So it's a big week...with Steve off to have scans on Friday...
It may well be the last of his treatment - fingers crossed - I'll keep you posted, XXX

Another tough Part B, but 6th cycle is over
Well the 6th cycle is over but not without its ups and downs.
Steve coped well during the week in hospital even though it was really draining.
He came home Mother's Day morning - a little later than expected, but feeling not too bad.
He was ecstatic he wasn't sick on the first 2 days as was normally the case, however he felt more fatigued than usual.
On the Wednesday he looked very pale and by that night it was evident another infection had set in - so it was straight back to hospital.
It was so important to get him onto antibiotics asap - and that they did - the doctors and nurses have been wonderful...
So I was trying to hold off writing this post until he had recovered from the infection but it looks like it will be a little while yet.
The last time he had the Part B treatment, the infection took until about the Wednesday to settle so hopefully by the middle to end of this week he may come home.
He is hoping to be out for the arrival of our grandson who is due on Wednesday - so we'll see...
I'll let you know when he is out of hospital and back on his way to good health,
warmest regards Tricia
