Treatment in Geelong ceased on Friday and drain-tubes removed on Sunday ready for transport by ambulance back to Portland Hospital on Monday, arriving here at about 4.30pm.

Back in Portland Lorraine's condition is :- Very short of breath - running on oxygen, no cancer treatment drugs being administered - we were told in Geelong that the healing required after removing the drains would not occur if Lorraine was on the cancer drugs. We have to wait till next Thursday when Lorraine will see her Oncologist to see what the next step - if any, will be. The only treatment she is getting is the oxygen and pain relief. On Tuesday we meet with the Palliative Care nurse to plan Lorraine's return to home and what home help is available.
But currently Lorraine is housed in North Ward at the hospital with the best view over Portland harbour possible.
Today Adrian left for Melbourne to start a holiday with Simon and Caitlin in New Zealand - visiting the "Lord of the Rings" sites. They are all avid fans, so should be a great trip.
Brian
