Daniel was able to take Monica to the Cancer Agency today allowing Greg to work a full day. Monica and Daniel are both enjoying their time together and it is good that Daniel is able to see first hand what she is going through with the treatments. Today, Monica had to have her weekly blood tests to ensure that she continues to do ok.
Monica may be experiencing one of the first real side effects of the radiation. She has noticed some occasional blurring in her left eye and reported it to the technicians. The family went for a walk on the Fraser Foreshore at the foot of Kerr St. in Vancouver (where there is quite a development taking place and which is a very nice walk) last night. Monica seemed to be having a harder time with her left foot. She may have been a bit tired or perhaps it is another effect of the radiation but we will have to watch this more closely. ( In any event, it is an unhappy reminder of her situation in an otherwise pleasant and happy day.)
Greg found a cookbook of Monica's written by John Bishop called "Cooking at Home". The recipes look to be fabulous (but maybe a bit rich).Greg was able to play with one of the recipes and we enjoyed a tasty and healthy "Lentil Hot Pot" seasoned with and Indian spice, Garam Masala.
