Back to John Hunter today. Drew had an appointment with Jodie to discuss any worries he may have, it was then an appointment with Dr Janis, who is extremely impressed with how well Drew is looking after his last treatment of chemotherapy. The last treatment was very strong and Drew was expected to take a month to recover, but he is going great guns, his platelets and haemoglobin are good and he has 1.2 neutriphils. After seeing Dr Janis it was off for a lung function test. This required Drew to inhale oxygen, which has a slight trace of radioactive material in it, through a tube with a peg on his nose, whilst lying flat on a bed through a machine which looks like a donut. The challenge was then lying still and quietly on the bed through the machine for another 35 minutes, whilst it recorded how it dispelled from his lungs.
