Tomorrow we/he has blood work and a few more invasive tests to get through but if all is well we will be off the following day to the capital for the start of treatment for gene therapy!
To the best of my knowledge it seems that he is in a clinical trial to see if this type of genetic treatment will work for his type of Leukemia, since nothing else has yet been able to kill the cancer.
If all goes well, this week will see us travelling from Tuesday to Friday and then home again. In about 3 or 4 weeks time they should be ready for him and we will once again be back to the capital for treatment, about a 6 week stay this time around.
We are hoping for the best but it is dangerous and there is a chance it could cause some very serious life threatening side effects! :O I’m trying very hard not to dwell on that.
Since this is also a BDSM blog I can add that I’m also trying very hard not to dwell on the fact that I will be away from Bear almost entirely for the 6 week stay. I’m sure he’ll be up on weekends when he can.
Being very much on the side of introvert as far as personalities go, I’m not looking forward to all the ‘socializing’ once more.
I find I have the teeniest flame, burning far and away in the depths of my mind that is looking forward to a time when i can put all of this ‘down’ and sleep at His feet. Perhaps for a long while ….
I do miss the chains and cuffs that calm me. 🙂 Happy Monday friends. ❤

Sounds stressful, but sounds like there are still treatment options out there. Shall update Dad on that and see what he says. Good luck with everything and have a safe drive tomorrow.

Thanks, Kit. I have mail prepared for him today but that will be a little while in getting to its destination!

I want to celebrate with you (that he’s off for a new and exciting treatment option) but also I just want to give you a huge hug. It’s times like this you need your Bear, right? You’ll be curled at his feet again before you know it. I’ll keep everything crossed for the trials. x
