Company....company....company......no time to write in the Blog.......(actually I forgot).......
Linda did her chemo yesterday...the doctor thought she looked strong...remember the weird "dip" on Wednesday...but Thursday and Friday she was great.....he did prescribe a shot to boost her immune system...she gets another next Thursday before we take off to Portland for a short week. The chemo went well, although the staff was short handed which made for a minor hassle....and she did get some Reike although a bit short because of the former. She does another session next Thursday AM.
What now....the oncologist will be on vacation during her next cycle so she will be seen by his partner.....we expect more of the same....then he said when he returns at the end of the third cycle......which we think is April 10th...one day after we return from Florida...he will do a scan.....the scan will tell whether things are working..if so, he continues for at least 6 cycles..if not, he has to change course immediately and try something else. He said she looked good so it should be working (this is good news, although a "surface" diagnosis).
Brother Norm leaves this am....son Jim leaves sometime this day...so it will be quiet again...back to reading and short walks....
That's about it.....Linda looks well..we told the doc she's been a bit "sassy"...somehow he or we added "lippy"...also...she has been a bit "lippy"...at least we all agreed she was not "loopy" as she had been last year while under morphine.
ps..For Norm's journeys, check http://www.stormannorm.blogspot.com/ He has promised to write more in it..

Wow, I went into your brothers blog. How wonderful.I am envious of his commitment to service to God. I have for years wanted to be of maximum service to God, but do not know the first thing about how to do that. And being selfish, life things seem to get in my way. The peace in your brothers eyes is the reason I did drugs for so many years. Now for the last few years I have been seeking Gods will in my life, and that peace I see in others. I daily ask for his guidance and direction and see what the day holds for me. Anyway, Love you guys. Just stopped in to say Hey... Later Vicky
Glad to hear that it was worth sitting on the edge of my seat waiting two days for your next blog entry. You like to keep us in suspense, Dave. Linda looks so good in the latest pics. I can see what the doc means. Being surrounded by such wonderful company must help, too. Both of you, take care. Linda, I know that "Loose lips sink ships." What so "sassy" lips do?
