Thanking the Beat It initiative!


The wife here again.

I have been thinking for a long time now that I don't think we have ever really reported to everyone who took part in the Beat It initiative what happened? If you have been reading the blog you probably noticed we went to Crete in April, that's what happened! It was a very good holiday and the kids still want to watch videos from Crete and they remember the pool and the restaurants we went to, and every once in a while they start asking when we will be going there again... So thank you everyone!! It was a very welcome week of "something different" that we probably would not have done otherwise, and it was a good time to go as now it is more difficult to travel as Jan Arne is in treatment once a week.

On other fronts, we just came back from a week in Norway. Jan Arne had his treatment cancelled from last week so that we could travel, and we got lucky as Finnair just had an offer to Bergen. Now we are back to work and kids are in daycare. Jan Arne is on antibiotics as his nail bed infection got really bad so he went to see a doctor practically straight from the airport when we arrived. Tomorrow is supposed to be a new day for chemo but we have to see first how his platelet count is. It was still low on Friday, I guess due to two successive Camptosar treatments (the second time only since May when they have been able to give it two weeks in a row).

Great to hear some more news (also glad to see we're not the only ones who are too busy to post regular blog updates ;) ). Hope the treatment goes well. Take care, Peter, Hanna & Benjamin
