Appointment with the Surgeon
Apologies for the lack of news. We have been waiting for an appointment to see the surgeon, Mr Romani. He's now decided that it's best for us to see a different Urologist, Miss Warburton. We're not sure why, but presumably they specialise in different bits.
Unfortunately, Miss Warburton is on holiday this week and then it's Easter, so our appointment is on 22nd April. She's indicated, via her secretary, that the operation will be early to mid May. We're hoping we can bring that forward - it's already 4 weeks since Quent's CT scan, when we found out the cancer was back. We haven't seen anyone since that day, when the Prof told us, and we're keen to get things moving. The tumour is close to Quent's remaining kidney and presumably the bigger it gets, the trickier the operation.
Meanwhile, the doctors at the Royal Brompton have decided to postpone the desensitisation programme. They will review the situation in 6 months, but in the meantime it is vital that Quentin carries two epipens on him at all times. So he now has a black leather 'bum bag' and is being pretty disciplined about wearing it.
More news as we get it.

Any excuse for Quent to be seen in black leather...
Surprised that it's not PVC....
Waiting is awful isn't it. Fingers crossed they can speed things along once you get to meet next week.

Now - to try and read and type in the words that prove I'm not a robot. 3 attempts to follow no doubt!
So sorry that this is the next step but at least you have a plan now. We will be thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping it's as positive as can be. Hope the Easter Bunny is kind to you in the meantime at least! Love Jo and Iain xxx
Had my fingers crossed all day. Has caused a few accidents whilst working in the cafe. I hope the day is going ok. Jenny x
