Chemo going well, but still incontinent

Jazz had another Vincristine injection yesterday evening. He weighed 24kg.

As his recent blood tests have been stable and not giving any cause for concern, Fiona doesn't think there's any need to have any more until just before his next injection is due in 3 weeks' time. (We've only had one blood test all along that showed we were overdoing the treatment.) Three weeks will be at Easter, so his blood test and injection will be on Tuesday morning and Friday evening instead of Monday morning and Thursday evening this time, so Andy will have to take him for the blood test.

He's still off his food, but as he's not losing weight, Fiona's not worried about it for now. It's possible that the Leukeran may be suppressing his appetite a bit.

Meanwhile, his red cell count suggests that he's no longer losing much (if any) blood in his urine, so the problem we have is really now incontinence rather than cystitis. As he's clearly not following anything that could be considered a normal pattern for cystitis resulting from the chemo, Fiona's now thinking in terms of finding a urinary specialist for advice.

Although the nappies now mean that we can now get about 3 hours of sleep at a time rather than an hour or so, either that's more difficult for the body to cope with, or it's just all the disturbed nights catching up on me. Either way, I'm starting to feel exhausted over the last couple of days, so I'm hoping Fiona comes up with something so that Andy and I can both finally get back to normal sleep patterns.
