Update - Monday 21 November

Actually this is from his father, Andrew, who was with George today. George had his third dose of chemo today and is responding well without discomfort. On Wednesday, they add Asparaginase which is administered every other day by injection. It currently looks as if George will leave St George's on 5 December for a spell at home of around 1-2 weeks - he would like to spend that time resting with family - before returning to St G's where he will almost certainly be for Christmas! It transpires that none of his siblings have compatible bone marrow (though they did confirm they ARE siblings!!) - so any of you who would like to offer yourselves for test (it is only a small blood test) would be welcome to do so. I would advise that there is only a small chance of matching (even within the rest of his family) - but then you might make someone else's day! Look at http://www.anthonynolan.org.uk/index.php?location=3.1.2 if you are interested. Incidentally, it is not the end of the world if no match is found - there are other treatments he can have.
