CT Results

I went to the Oncologist yesterday and received some good results. Most of my cancer sites are shrinking a little after only six weeks on the mystery drug. The testing must be going well. I do have some side effects (what drug doesn't have those). For instance the "blisters" on the bottom of my feet are not from wearing the wrong shoes, they are from the drug as well as the constant sore throat. I'm certainly willing to put up with that as long as my results are so good. Most of the staff that work with me at the Oncologist's office congratulated me on my wonderful results.

Later that day, when I was back home, my childhood friend who lives in Tucson came to visit me with her wonderful cousin and his wife. She and her cousin by marriage had a fantastic trip to Africa and would go back in a heartbeat they loved it that much. It was so wonderful to see them and catch up on everything.

Charlie is at my mother's house. He's keeping her so active that she sleeps through the night, a first for her. He'll soon have to travel home to start his new teaching jobs. Beau, his partner, is in Phoenix right now and we're having breakfast with him before his flight back to DC. It'll be so great to see him since it's been some months since he traveled here.

Don is still enjoying the good life on the island and starting to feel the first signs of fall coming to the island. We in AZ are just hoping for a temperature below 100 degrees but we have another month to wait for that.
