Hello September

Good Day to you.

Fish Joke:  Three priests were fishing on a boat when they ran out of bait. The first priest got up and walked across the water to get some more bait. After 2 hours they ran out of bait again and the second priest said he would go get more bait…so he got up and walked across the water. After 3 hours of fishing they ran out of bait again and the third priest said he would get more bait. So he stepped out of the boat and went straight to the bottom. The first priest turned to the second priest and asked, “Should we have told him where the rocks were?

Well September is here.  Kids and teachers are back to school.  Days are shorter and the temp starts to drop.  Soon the leaves will turn colors and fall will be in full swing.  For now - I shall enjoy each sunny day and look forward to sparking a couple of backyard fires while the weather is co-operative.    And the best thing about this September is the count down to our trip to PEI.  Boy oh boy - looking forward to it and it is going to be fun.  We are due to return home on Friday Sept 30th, a typical treatment day, we were hoping to move treatments to a Tuesday or Wednesday, giving our weekends back.  That did not work out.........

Teresa and I met with the doctor last week to review progress, there is no change since the last the last CT Scan. No pain, no irregularities and no change in how I feel.    Another CT will be scheduled in the upcoming weeks, prior to our trip which will show progress of treatments and  how the Cancer is responding.   Fingers crossed there is only forward progress and shrinkage is the prominent term in the result report.    Treatments will continue on Friday's due to our PEI trip, treatment will be postponed 1 week, resuming on Oct 7th.  At this point the Doctor is not giving a number to how many treatments there will be.  So we will continue as we have for the past few months though look forward to each CT Scan as the progress marker.  Time being divided up based on the 2 week treatment cycles and the 3 month CT Scans.   Perhaps the December Scan will be Merry Christmas to me!    In summary - feeling good, rebounding from treatments ok, looking forward to the upcoming CT Scan and still smiling.

That is it for now.  Be back later this week with some just because jabber.

Keep Smilin
