Last day of 3F8... Adrian is finally done with his 5th Immunotherapy Treatment. While Adrian did feel some pain during the course of treatment, however, I felt that they were not as strong as before. Adrian was being discharged tonight with a big & swollen head! Doc said Adrian only requires 1 blood test per week as opposed to 2 from now on before ABMT. So instead of going to QM twice a week for both line care and blood test, we will have to go only once! However, Mama will start learning the line care next week, she has to do it in front of the nurses THREE times and if she passed, she'd be approved to do it at home.

Surgery Update: We have finally heard from Prof Fan and he has touched base with Dr Chiang, the doc in our ward. Adrian is booked for the liver surgery on Nov 22 to remove any residual tumors in his liver. Meanwhile, Adrian will have a CT Scan next Tuesday to confirm if there IS still a tumor there. No surgery is needed if there isn't any.... Baby will also be getting GCSF later on to boost up his white blood cells/Neutrophils before the surgery. Mama also sat with Dr Chiang going over all our concerns and risks associated with the surgery...

Here's some of the pictures taken at K8N this week:
