At times there have been up to 9 specialists in the room all at once.
Life has been quite busy as not only do all the specialists come but also a dietition, social worker, Infection Team, not to mention frequent visits from the ward nurses checking monitors, showering, administering drugs - intravenous and pills etc., and of course the very welcome visits from friends and rellies including Marlene, Caitlin, Jen Merrett, Nicky and Andrew Schultz and not to forget Brian.

Early afternoon Lorraine had a further CT Scan and Ultrasound to positively identify where the fluid build-up was located after which two drain lines were inserted which Lorraine says are draining slowly. She has also been given a different cancer drug after being taken off the old one a couple of days ago.
Lorraine has a suspicion that she may not be kept in Geelong Hospital much longer as things appear to have settled down. Time will tell!
