The Envelope, Please

“Bonnes nouvelles” says Dr. D.  The results of the PET scan show a significant reduction in the metabolic activity of the various tumors and nodules, some of them have even gone completely quiet.  The IRM shows that there has been only a slight decrease in the actual size of the sites meaning that we’re making progress but still have more to do.  She’s signed me up for four more treatments and I’m very willing to go along with that since I have so few side effects.

I just got home from the hospital and am now resting.  Although nothing much really happens at the hospital: blood test, lunch in the cafeteria, appointment with the oncologist, chemo at the day hospital, visit with the psychologist during the chemo – it makes for a full day and I’m usually just tired out afterwards.

Mr. T and I are becoming old hands at this, but even he admitted that it had been a good day.

I heartily agree!
