Vava is in her last round of chemo, and going strong. She does get sick about two weeks in; bad pain in ankles, elbows..as her counts drop, she feels like she has the flu....but a day or two goes by and she is better....
On Oct. 18th she will have a PET scan, and on the 19th another long day at the hospital where she will be checked out completely (Echo, ECG, lungs, Xray, etc) and the oncologist will give us the results. We, and they, are assuming she will be cancer free. The following week she has a little surgery to remove the port in her chest which was used to deliver the chemo all these months, then the radiation begins. We still don’t know how long.....
Vava is very excited that the Make a Wish people came to visit last night....her wish is very elaborate and exciting...they told her they can’t guarantee anything, and asked what her 2nd choice would be....which is also totally cool...so we’ll see. It’s so wonderful for her to have this little titillation going along with the rest of the slog......
Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep and wake up next year.
