This is probably a good opportunity to explain a little about the post surgery chemotherapy.
After the surgery, Joni-Mai will still continue on a 3 weekly chemotherapy regime. Where before, she was having the combination VIDE (Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Doxorubicin & Etoposide) after she will have a new combination - VAI (Vincristine, Actinomycin & Ifosfamide). This will mean a shorter stay in hospital each time we are there. The side effects will also be slightly different but we will deal with these when we get there!
The first chemotherapy week after surgery is scheduled for the 5th March and then will be every 3 weeks from here!
