Update 10/03/09

Hi everyone,

Tim wasn't able to have any chemotherapy last week, as his blood
counts were too low. Instead he had 4 transfusions, two on Monday and
two on Friday. His body is now ready for another slaughtering;
resuming chemo on Tuesday, another bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday and
a lumbar puncture at some stage.

It has been a lovely week, not having to rush to hospital everyday.
Tim has felt relatively good ( just headaches, mild nausea and
fatigue). I took him to the movies last Tuesday to see Grand Torino.
It was a great flick and fabulous to get Tim out, yet still be low key
and rested.

The highlight of our week was being VIP'S at Rove live on Sunday
night! (Anyone see us in the audience?) This was organised through
Rod, who had been in touch with Ben Lee over the last few weeks and we
were there as his guests! Tim rested all week end to have the energy
for this night and it was so fortuitous that he hadn't had chemo all
week, as he was feeling the best he had been for some time.

We were chauffeured to the ABC studio in Elsternwick (thanks to Rod
and Rach and Jannah and Mark) and seriously treated as VIP'S. We had
green room access where we met all the stars and shown incredible
hospitality. The champagne and sushi platters flowed before and after
the show and we just had the best night!!!! Tim had a fantastic chat
with Ben Lee, who is the most sincere and humble guy you could meet.
An absolute legend and Tim instantly connected with him. We had a
good chat to Rove, who gave me a massive hug on leaving and some
special words of encouragement.

It was such a special night and one we will never forget.

Hope you enjoy the snaps!

Love Andi
