Emily is doing well at the moment. The focus now is on the things we CAN control, those things being fun experiences for Em and creating memories for our family and friends. Gary and I will be meeting with the palliative nursing care team on the 3rd of May to discuss pain relief options etc for when things go down hill. Em is expressing no concerns of pain or discomfort at present. At this stage we have no interest in scanning her to see what is going on in her body. She is very in tune with her body and her symptoms alone, in my opinion, will indicate what pain relief will be required. Not sure when low dose chemotherapy will commence…. we are trying to avoid it for as long as possible. We will update again once we’ve met with the palliative care team. Thanks to everyone for making Em’s school holidays so memorable. We are forever grateful.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. (The Serenity Prayer)

I’m sure on some level TJ that has to be lovely reading, and yes it’s so nice to see Em so happy, please remember you guys have made all the best decisions for this to happen. I really admire how you and Gary deal with the situation you’re in whilst Jack, Charlotte and Luke get all the love and attention they need too.
One very proud aunty x x
