We are starting this blog as a way for Marika's many friends to be in touch and updated as she goes through her healing process. Because of her vast social network, it will simply not be possible for her family to field all the caring phone calls and repeat the same updates; hopefully this blog can provide a way for her community to feel in the loop and updated.
The past week has been very tough as she has gone through a strong reaction to a new chemo, as well as to the pain-control medication. She is currently in hospital in isolation to build up her immunity system, and is only taking family visitors. Though she is heavily medicated, she is still aware and able to communicate bits of information - she asked for a library book to be returned and her email checked, and to have her hair brushed.
Her main oncologist is excellent, as are the nurses at Emergency, so she is in good hands. David is of course very upset and concerned, and Mark is presently in Victoria as well, and Vicky will be arriving today.
We appreciate your thoughts and wishes - feel free to share them here and we will communicate your hellos to Marika.
