Catching Up -- 3 weeks down, 3 to go

The last 2 days have been extremely busy here. On Wednesday, we drove over 300 miles. Di had radiation in the morning and then we drove to Ann Arbor. On arrival at the Cancer Center Di had her blood taken. She is getting good at that and automatically exposes her arm. Then upstairs, register, weighed and waited. We were then escorted down the hall into a room. It is like a hotel with very nice doors, carpeting etc. After a while a doc came and gave Di a very intense examination. In some areas there had been no improvement, but others showed improvement.
Then we had to wait 90 minutes for the famous cancer guru!!!! He was very gracious and spoke with us and was glad with Di's progress. We then left. I suggested a nice meal, but Di was tired so we drove home, arriving 7.40pm. A long day, had some food and she went to bed. Again I cannot give you any news as to what happens next. We continue with the radiation and chemo for another 3 weeks. Then a further trip to Ann Arbor for doc visit plus some treatment for pneumonia as she will be open to that. I asked if we could travel, thinking of a visit to SA.
The big problem is thrombosis and sitting on a plane for so long is not good. She would have to walk around every 2 hours so the doc advised against it. We will listen to the doc!! So life continues. The latest problem is trying to get her medication. She is on a strong dose of chemo and they cannot find it in our local town, so the pharmacy will have to ship it in.
I am going to break for 4 days so the blog will continue on Wednesday.
Do not worry if you don't see a new episode. It is because I am taking a break and Fiona will be moving in to take over the care.
See you next week and have a great weekend. Ian
