Sitting pretty

Today, Val completed session 3 of chemo. She experienced no high from the steroids this time,  just fatigue. When I got home from work, Val was resting. She perked up after dinner.

Yesterday, Val had a good appointment with Dr. Brandes (oncologist), who was chipper and upbeat about things. Her blood work is good and he has ordered a cat scan for just before the next chemo session; apparently that test will show more than the blood work can about how things are doing. Her numbers are all so good that they are not telling Brandes much; so he said. Hence the cat scan. Seems like good news to us. We'll go with that for the moment.

Val's new recliner was delivered yesterday afternoon, and she enjoyed a cup of tea in it in the sunroom. It will be most satisfactory! Also, the new furnace was installed last week and we are appreciating its efficiency, especially as the season is turning, and the mornings and evenings are definitely cooling off here.

We'll stay in the city this weekend, after having had a splendid weekend for Thanksgiving at the cottage last weekend. The weather was glorious and it was wonderful to be out there, enjoying the beauty of the lake and leaves and sunshine.

Hope your season is turning as it should.
Love,
Amanda
