Steve Journey

  • One journey ends another Begins

    Steve has finished a tough 6 weeks of treatment and now we head to the recovery from treatment phase of the journey.

    We’ve been told that the first couple of weeks will be very taxing on his body, very tired and muscle soreness.

    After that we are expecting a progressive improvement for the 6 weeks after the four of recovery.

    In another month we go to Wellington for CT and MRI to see how effective the treatment has been, and what the plan is from there.

    This may include another round of chemo but this will be determined by efficacy of the first lot of treatment.

    The children are in the planning stage of the holiday and are very excited of having quality time with dad. So expected an update soon of the anticipated journey that you all have contributed to make happen. Family continually to be overwhelmed by all the support for their dad and the flow affect for them. Thank you all for you wonderful generosity.

    Here is a photo of Steve with our friend Véronique having a lunch at Mediterranean Food Warehouse in Wellington.

    He is now sporting a Telly Savalas Hair do but without the lollipop.

    Well we are now on week four so three weeks left, at the half way mark and yes his hair has fallen out so he’s rocking the KoJack look like a boss. We had two outings on the weekend which pooped him out a tad but Saturday was such a lovely day we went to Titahi bay for a coffee with Bev a mate of ours. Sunday we went to look at a unit in Raumati for after treatment. Steve is very tired now its starting to really Taki it out of him so he will be resting a lot for the last three weeks of treatment and the months recovery. Thanks again for all the wonderful gifts towards our holiday with our dear partner, dad and poppa and uncle and brother.
