Thank you for asking Jen. Jim and Evie are in the city this week as Evie has surgery on Monday and several tests as well as her treatments this week. I talked to Jim about an hour ago. Today was very quiet, no doctor's appointments, so Jim and Evie stayed at the hotel. Evie slept most of the day, she was having trouble staying awake. That is a bit of a concern, however it is likely a combination of anxiety and the cancer.

I will be joining Jim in the city on Friday. Evie is going to be admitted to hospital that day, that is her treatment day and she will need to be under observation to make sure she is ready for the surgery Monday. It is not common to have surgery whilst also having chemotherapy; in fact normally it is not allowed. However the surgery is to screen out cancer, so it can't be delayed. It is a bit of a worry, is she strong enough and so on. Last surgery she had an unusually large amount of blood loss.

So, Jim and I will have our weekend in the city afterall! Hopefully, if all goes well, we will be bringing Evie home Tuesday or Wednesday at the very latest.
