I had 2 CT scans today, and the contrast one showed no lymph node involvement--good news! I have to have the staging one repeated on Fri, because it was flawed. Then I have the final CT and tatoos next Thurs and begin 6 weeks of radiation on Mon, July 12. I should feel well until the 3rd or 4th week, and then only minimally ill. Timmy, one of the Big Riders, called his mom to find out the name of the Patron Saint of cancer she always prays to: it's St. Peregrine, like the falcon--it's true, I looked it up. I feel truly blessed to be included in all your prayers and thoughts--keep praying!
We leave on Fri to go to Pt Townsend for the weekend. Our son-in-law, Mead's mother has invited all of us. She must be feeling very strong. Noel and I will sleep in Baby, and I suppose the rest of the kids will be in the house. I hope to stop in LaConner to see the Japanese quilts and textiles, IF we can get a reservation on the Keystone Ferry.

ReplyDeleteYEAH ... glad to hear some good news! I've been keeping you in my prayers and I guess I've got to check out St. Peregrine.
ReplyDeleteNeed my Catholic mother to help out with all these saints and their specialities! Great news, hope you enjoyed the 4th with the family. Now you can get all rested up for the treatment program. The sun will be shining and 6 weeks will fly by. dawn and all
ReplyDeleteCindy, Good news about the lymph nodes. Sally's been filling in us Rebels a bit. Is there anything we can do? Meals during radiation? Company? Whatever, please ask!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers and positive, healthy thoughts.

Enjoying your trip. Janice and I wonder where all the fabric is being stored. Janice thought maybe on the bed but by now your heads must be touching the top of the camper. Sounds like you are having fun even though some night stays make it interesting. Cornelia
