The upcoming month




Good Day

Fish Joke:     Why did the fish blush?             Because he saw the boat's bottom.


Treatment update:  Next review appointment is Oct 6th, which we will review my most recent CT Scan.  Fingers, knees and toes crossed the results are still positive and show signs of additional shrinkage and regression of the Cancer Cells.  That will mean continued treatments as you may know - I am good with that as long as progress is being made.    Finding some of the side effects are getting alittle stronger with each treatment.  With the last 2 I stopped taking a Steroid based medication which helps with side effects of the treatments, though has side effects of it own.  I find fatigue and upset stomach are worse then with the drug.  Though my face is not as "poofy" and perhaps will reduce mood swings with reduced weight gain. So some positives to go with the negatives.  I am good not taking the drug. 

Now hopefully there is no Air Canada strike effecting our flight to PEI.  That will be really disappointing and annoying.  The fishing Charter wants to move up our fishing day from Sat to Fri due to weather forecasts, which means we may have to cancel.  Boy this is stressful not knowing what is going to be going on and then really only having 24 hours to rebook everything.   Ugh.   On the bright side.  
Here is a link to the 1 place we are staying - a light house converted into a suites. 

Here is an interesting article I came across about Cancer Research and using a Virus to treat some cases.  Currently this is in very early trial stage - though very interesting and promising is this can prove to be effective and a viable treatment method.
