The
Good News is: This is getting routine
The Bad
News is: This is getting routine
The last week has been just fine. Nothing dramatic to report and of course that
is good. Chemo via pill every day soon
after the anti-nausea medicine (boy is that a help!) then off the 11AM
radiation treatment. The way these
radiation clinics are organized you end up seeing a lot of the same folks
daily. Their appointment is the same
time as yours but they may be a bit ahead or behind on the calendar. There’s a nice couple about our age from
north of town. His tumors are more
scattered than Patti’s. There’s also a
middle aged lady in a motorized buggy that comes alone via MARTA bus from the
south side of town. It’s hard not to
feel sorry for her since she has such a complicated travel ordeal. Patti and Kiley ask names and start
conversations. It sorta humanizes the
experience.
As we were told to expect, there is now hair loss on the
temples and fatigue sets in early. Patti
rallies for a chance to decorate Erymwold and is busy planning rugs and drapes
and tile. As I’ve said before, this
project in Athens is a wonderful escape and we just love spending our weekends
in the country.
Last Sunday our friends the Tribbles drove over from Atlanta
for lunch. Their group included two
beautiful daughters and Nanky and Jack.
All visitors are encouraged to bring leaf rakes and swing blades. The Tribbles will do better next visit
(insert winking smiley face here). Also
visiting briefly last weekend were nephew Alan Hodgson from Winston-Salem and
his wife Lindsey plus young daughter Margaret.
Alan brought gray brain cancer wrist bands for our whole family. Anyone seeing an opportunity to support the
cause by sporting one of these bands is encouraged to do so….
Thanks to everyone for your continued interest. Patti has received so much love from so many
friends and family. It really is
humbling. This fight will be won. Patti will make it so.
