Today Panormitis and Hetty went to Amsterdam VUMC hospital. This is the most specialised hospital in Holland for this kind of illness.

Panormitis will be going into the hospital on june the 3rd and be operated on june 4th.
The operation is the first part of the treatment, the docters will get as much of the braintumor out as possible.

Than after the operation panormitis will stay in the hospital for 4 to 5 days. And may go home for another 2 weeks to get better from the operation.

After that the docters will start the 2nd part of the treatment, which is radiation, this is to kill tumorcells that could not be taken out during the operation. The radiation is every day for 6 weeks.
Than after that Panormitis will get chemo-pills. This is the 3rd part of the treatment.

So all together it will take approx. 3 months. With a lot of visits to the VUMC. So if anyone has suggestions to live closer to the hospital, please let me know.

  1. Beste Freek,
    Kitty gaat de week rond de operatie naar Frankrijk (vanaf dinsdag a.s.) en in die tijd zou Hetty natuurlijk daar kunnen logeren. Dat is misschien handig ivm op- en neer reizen naar de VU?
    Probleem is, wij hebben het juiste tel.nr. van Hetty niet meer. Zou iemand mij dat willen mailen? gijsje.van.bentum@gmail.com.
    dank vast,
    Gijsje (en Kitty)

  2. Best greetings from us all, Dora, Angelos and myself. I'm sure everything is going to be OK. Say hello from us to Hetty and Panormitis. Aleka has been to IKA and on the telefon with Lymperopoulos (a number of times). It' s going to take time and effort, though. It's not easy.
