Hi all,

Can't believe we are now past 13 weeks post-tx & I thank everyone for their well wishes.

Jen is doing very well and her taste has come back quite considerably over the past week or so and she can now taste 'sweets' for the first time in almost 4 months.

Energy levels are up to the point where she is well enough to take care of Hunter full time while I am back at the office, and she has also had huge improvements in her speech & eating functions once more which is great to see.

We had a huge scare last week when her blood tests for her thyroid as per my last update showed abnormally high levels and the doctors wanted to see us urgently.

However,the endocrinologist had a look at Jen and didn't think much of it and suspected it be due to her giving birth rather than the radiotherapy which was quite a surprise to hear.

He ordered another blood test on the spot and the results came through yesterday and his observation was correct - the thyroid levels had dropped by 3 fold and is now almost back to normal levels. Just to be sure, he has ordered another blood test for next Tuesday and then a follow up appointment on the Wednesday to give us the final verdict but it was a huge relief to hear that it was nothing to worry about.

Still got our first follow-up PET/CT scan coming up on the 19th of this month, and then a welcome holiday for 2 weeks with family & friends overseas which couldn't have come at a better time.

Hopefully the recovery process continues to progress, and we can't wait leaving for our vacation with an all clear results from our docs in a few weeks time!

Kindest Regards
Jay, Jen & Hunter.
