WOO HOO! We got the results of the CT scan today. All adenopathy is reduced in size. Lymphs and liver. Looks like the chemo cocktail is working. As Tom says - "I'm winning" The next round of chemo starts next week.

The next break is our trip to Oregon. We were talking with some of the others who are going and everyone is excited and wishing we could go now. However, we need to get through Labor Day weekend, the balloon races and the air races.

We had to abort our trip to old Sacramento yesterday. We made it to Boreal and had a flat tire. Rather than traveling on the spare we came back home and got tire fixed and enjoyed the nice weather at home.

Today was our Kemma's birthday. Got to see all the grandkids at the birthday party. They are pretty entertaining and we always enjoy visits with them.

Summertime

Bubba has finished two of the six scheduled sessions. No long trips for this two weeks off. CT scans for both of us and scheduled lab work. At least with this warm weather Tom is wearing short sleeved shirts and leaving his sweatshirt jackets at home.

Both girls were with us last Thursday. One stayed with Tom during treatment and the other went with me for my procedure. When we all were together in one room after my appointment we were all smiles. Ten years clear on my bladder cancer!!! The infusion room felt kind of empty when the girls went back to their families and jobs.

When treatment was done Tom was making sure he would see his fellow patients when he came back for the next session. We were all comparing how many more treatments, how everyone was feeling, how the hair growth was coming along, etc. We've been teasing Tom because now that his hair came back, it's curly. He told the infusion nurse she might not recognize him with his long curls. Her response was - I heard your hair was growing like a chia pet!

Everyone in the oncologist's office laughs along with us. They are a great group to take care of you if you need them.

Until the next time,
Jan
