Today was a busier day again. Monica had a follow up appointment with her surgeon, Dr. Heran. He seemed genuinely pleased with a number of things: how she looked, her speech, the fact that she has not yet had to take any steroids. We had a pleasant (mostly) discussion with him. He told us that we would not likely be seeing him again but that we were free to call him should we see the need to do so (the unpleasant part : At some point,statistics say, the tumour will return and should it grow into a problem, more radiation in the future will not be an option and the only options would, possibly, be more chemotherapy which they sometimes do or, in some cases, some more surgery.).
Following the visit to Dr. Heran, Greg and Monica made a stop at Choices to replenish the groceries and bought some lunch at a vegetarian restaurant.
In the afternoon Monica's appointment for the radiation was at 2:10. Before doing that she had to go to the lab and have a blood test (which they do each week before renewing her chemotherapy drugs). Everything went well and Greg was able to go to work for a couple of hours.
Jesse, Marely and Monica prepared a nice organic Greek salad for supper and we boiled an organic chicken to make soup etc for the next couple of days.
Happily again, the anti-nausea medicine did its job and Monica felt tired but otherwise well
