My most current scan was October 27th. Of course it was my week off from treatment and I had to schelp myself to Toronto for a 7:15 pm scan. This is how they get scheduled and I have to adhere to the schedule as best I can. I am grateful for the good old Greyhound bus to get me there stress free!
Thankfully that scan showed stable disease which meant I could continue with the trial and begin cycle 10. This is the treatment that has given me the most benefit for the longest period of time. All the side effects are worth it!
In November, David and it went to Mexico for a few days. We stayed on Isla Mujeres at the same studio apartment as last year. This apartment faces the Carribean Sea which is pretty rough. No swimming here but you can sit and stare at the water all day. It was a glorious and relaxing time!

At the beginning of December I experienced more than usual fatigue several days after treatment. I was in fact sick in bed for a day. My head was especially painful. At my next treatment appointment they sent me for a MRI on my head. Luckily they found nothing but I could have told them that! My doctors suspect I had a virus which is common this time of year. Good hygiene and hand washing keeps the germs away but sometimes you just get sick.
Now it is time again for another scan on Monday, December 21st @ 9:45 am. A more convenient time! Even though I feel pretty well most of the time there is always that nagging voice in my head. It is a challenge to silence that voice and distract myself. Naturally with the Christmas season there is plenty to do even though we have cut down on some activities and social events which we might host. We do have family coming on the 27th and everyone is helping out which is a blessing for me!
I am especially looking forward to seeing my sister and her husband this Christmas. They are driving up from NYC on December 21st. This will be a great Christmas!
