Monday Evening......October 29th

24th Day of Healing....

Tomorrow is the BIG meeting with the medical oncologist..we find out how things have been going with the chemo and radiation...not sure what we are to expect. We will also learn about "next steps"...what will be happening over the next two or three months....initially we were told 4 more rounds of chemo over 3-4 months..we shall see.

Today Linda did the CTscan..this gives the oncologist what he needs to proceed. I "passed" my rotator surgery followup exam today(after "failing" last month)......so that's over..it will take a few more months to feel ok though, the doctor said. I also failed my hearing test in my left ear today and have to go to a specialist tomorrow (it's the pits getting old).

Linda is a bit worn out today..took a long nap..and still tired...long day for her yesterday...as she said.."it was about adrenalin".....the trick is to do things in moderation..when she starts feeling better she wants to revert to her old habits of going 110%....those days are over....a bit of moderation is in order. She continues to eat solid foods and is going to ask the doctor for a GI examination to make sure everything is ok....as she had such a hard time over the last month.

Linda, you are a miracle walking. Looking at the pictures people would not believe what you have went through the last months. You are Beautiful. David you are so bad either. Yes, getting old is not for wimps.
Enough for today.
Love,
Janet

You see? That dream I had a few days ago was right. No more feeding tube and the start of the return of the Linda I used to know.

So glad to see how much has happened in the days that I haven't been able to check-in. You're making remarkable progress.

And... YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!!

I'm so, so glad that you're finally turning the corner in your recovery, Linda. So glad. Keep believing and moving forward. Don't worry too much about what's to come. After what you've dealt with already, the rest will be a cakewalk!

Love to you and Dave, as always!
