The local picc line infection did not change the plan: cycle 3 of chemo started today (out of 6 cycles of 5 weeks, ending in August). The light infection should be easily dealt with with antibiotics. The plan is to remove the picc line before he leaves hospital for two weeks at home, continue antibiotics and put in a new picc line before the next infusion.
Paul was lucky to have Milio, Suzy's brother who is a paediatric cardiac surgeon, for a few hours in London. Milio (instead of the nurse - what a treat!) removed the wound staples in a surprisingly short period of time.
Suzy left today to everyone's regret.
I am so glad to see such progress in Paul's treatment. Finally, on the other side looking towards the end of treatment in August! That certainly will be a happy day.
