Three appointments down..three to go..and Friday is a day off!
Far Guy saw his Oncologist. A different maintenance medication will be tried, as the present one has a number of bad side effects...think thrown into the deep end of menopause. The cancer is all gone however the Doctor would recommend three weeks of radiation treatments. Due to Far Guy's fragile lungs and his heart function a specialist in Radiology must evaluate him.
We met with Great Grandson Hey Mikey's third grade teacher. A donation was made to that classroom in memory of Far Guy's sister Jan who taught third grade most of her teaching career. The donation will go for books, a field trip and water safety!
Jen removed the stitches from my forehead with only a little trouble because they were very tiny stitches...she consulted a You Tube Video at one point while I waited under her lit magnifying glass.
Sadie came home from Daycare to greet us and Andy made burgers on the grill...delicious!
The next morning Far Guy had all of his staples and stitches removed from his chest. He talked at length with his surgeon. Far Guy is his career #3 man with breast cancer. Regarding radiation the Surgeon said he would trust the opinion of the Radiology specialist and that risk vs reward is a tough call.
After that appointment we headed home.
I drove most of the way...Far Guy drove the last 60 miles so I could rest a bit.
Cloudy skies in our area. We had afternoon naps...in my case more of a sleep and for supper we warmed up some of the fabulous Pizza we made on Monday. Leftovers can be a blessing.
Minnesota weather: High of 56F or 13C Low was 50F or 10C eh!
