Back to Barts

An uneventful trip to back to Barts and another day of tests in store for Sarah. First another bone marrow test, Sarah's fourth in two months, and then a Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap) along with a shot of Chemotherapy administered to the spinal cord and then a CT scan to monitor whether the original lumps in Sarah's stomach had been completely nuked by the Chemotherapy.The series of tests, although now familiar procedures, are very draining on Sarah's physical and mental state and by 5.30pm we were free to return to the Gloucester Hostel to take stock of what the day brought. It seemed almost surreal that 24 hours ago we were enjoying a pub lunch and being at home watching Iggle Piggle and Co. (although I think I have a new favourite in Roary the Racing Car - Monday's 7.20am Channel 5 - featuring Peter Kay!) However, our evening was free and although Sarah had a headache and felt tired we braved Pizza Express (again!), however it was extremely hot and noisy in there and we had to leave earlier than we had intended and sought the comfort of the hostel.
