Anniversary and a Schedule Change

.

Anniversary and a Schedule Change

.

Today is the anniversary of Michele’s seizure, which was the first sign of her brain cancer. It has been a long and hard year, but we are bearing up and Michele’s British upper lip remains stiff.

.

We have also made a slight change in the chemotherapy schedule. Michele has a chemo buddy now who is French. He is about six months ahead of her in his treatment for GBM brain cancer. He and Michele are coordinating their treatment schedules so that they can get their infusions (IV’s) on the same day, Fridays. Does not sound too romantic, so I am not worried or jealous. I mean, how much can happen when you are all wrapped up with three IV bags and IV tubes?

.

She remains on the same three-week treatment cycle -- two Fridays receiving chemotherapy and one week off for much needed rest. The next MRI has also been shifted back a day. For those of you who want to mark your calendars:

Chemo Friday 26 Feb and 05 March

Rest 8-12Mar

MRI Thursday 18 Mar (the day after St Patrick’s Day)

Chemo and MRI results Friday 19 Mar

Chemo Friday 26 Mar

Rest Palm Sunday to Easter

Next posting o/a 20 Mar.
