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
