I am very sorry to let you all wait solong, but some how I could not find my way in my blog.

Thsi problem is solved now, so let me tell you how Panormitis is doing.

Considering his serious sickness he is doing not so bad. He looks at the world cup a lot. we even took him the other day to a dutch pub to see the game Holland - Japan. He looked at all these crazy dutch people all dressed in orange and making a lot of noise. He grabbed his camera and took some nice pictures. I will try to get some of these pictures on this blog tomorrow.

In the meantime we went to the hospital to discuss when to start the radiation. Today they measured on his skull a special mask.

With ink they will put lines and dots on this mask, so every day when he comes to take his radiation, he will have to put on this mask, so they know where to radiate.

Radiation will start most likely on july 1st. and will last for 6 weeks, so we will be mid august by then.

At the same time so starting beginning july he will take his chemo-cure. This means he will have to take chemo-pills for one week, and than 3 weeks nothing. After this period of 4 weeks, they will take his blood, and according to the levels found there, they will prepare a new dose for the next week, than after 3 weeks of rest they will do the same. They will do this round 6 times. So it will last 6 x 4 weeks is 24 week, so he will be finished approx mid december.

Also approx every 3 months they will take another MRI -scan to check.

The whole treatment is aimed to delay the moment for the tumor to start growing again, to buy Panormitis extra time.

After the first 6 weeks of radiation, Panormitis will be able to travel, because the chemo-cure is taking pills only and he can do that anywhere.

Panormitis ofcourse would very much like to come to Patmos, we will see if this is feasable, lets say end of august.
