To help Joni-Mai get better after her chemotherapy, it is necessary that she has daily injections of G-CSF. G-CSF lowers the risk of infection developing within the body - as chemotherapy kills off white blood cells, leaving you prone to infection. To save Joni-Mai having daily jabs, she has had an Insuflon placed in her thigh. Our day started with a trip to our local hospital - to administer her first dose of her G-CSF and to have her Insuflon fitted. She wasn't pleased, starting her holiday with an injection but, she doesn't understand the risks of being without the help of medicines. Her Insuflon will be used to administer daily shots of G-CSF while we are on holiday. Again, to lower the risk of infection.
After leaving Queens Hospital, we started on our way to Penzance. A long car journey with lots of stops. It took about 7 hours to get here but we have arrived at our cliff-top castle for a week of family fun.
You can see pictures of our holiday castle, here.
