Series of doctor appointments has come to an end

Reg has been busy with doctor appointments this week. The pigment change in his finger is still unknown due to sample size. So on Tuesday, the dermatologist gave a much deeper cut to get a better sample for further testing. Thankfully, Reg doesn't need to return to the clinic but wait for the result. Today, Reg went to see the radio-oncologist preparing the next phase of treatment. They were thankful that they could transfer to Royal North Shore Hospital. When they went to the radio-oncology department, the place was filled with many puzzles done by the patients during the time in the unit. Anita thought she could indeed see herself doing things like that if she has cancer. Of course, Reg was crossed with her to say things like that. AFter a long wait, they were finally called in by the doctor. It was quite a time consuming exercise when they have to recall the history of all the tests and treatment done in the entire cancer journey. Reg thanked Anita staying up last night to organise all his medical records and even made a list of reports in chronological order. It really shortened the time for the registrar. After all the history taking and reviewing the scan result, the doctor was happy that Reg will undergo standard treatment. Anita was even happier to hear that there will be no urgency to start treatment straight away. Reg indeed needs to wait for another 3-5 weeks after his last chemo treatment before they will commence radiotherapy. This will mean Anita can relax about the logistic during school break. Reg will be scheduled sometime next week for a "simulation" for the planning of the radiotherapy. Anita was rather excited as she can imagine the fun to run a simulation with the latest technology and precision. Tomorrow will be Reg's last chemo if God's willing. After seeing the radio-oncologist, they are ready to see the end of the chemo phase and getting ready for the next phase of treatment. The family just pray that God will continue to provide peace and strength with this very last treatment and no more delay. Yet they praise God for His presence with them in every step of their journey so far.
