I am happy to report that the MRI which Monica had last week confirmed that the Bev treatments are still working. The tumour continues to be stable. This confirms our feelings and observations as we have felt that Monica's condition had not worsened.
The past week has been quite busy:
- more physio at Holy Family Hospital last Friday. The physiotherapist gave Monica some exercises that she will be able to do for her legs. We have one more scheduled session with the physiotherapist this week and, I think, we can come back later if Monica's progress needs to monitored etc. Monica has a botox treatment for her arm scheduled for late October and we may come back to the physio after we see how her arm feels following that botox treatment.
- following the physio last week, we met with the occupational therapist at Holy Family Hospital. She was very nice and spent quite a bit of time with Monica. She had some good suggestions for exercises that Monica can do for her right arm. We have a second session scheduled with her this week.
-Saturday, Monica enjoyed the good weather and supervised the gardener (me) cleaning up in the yard a bit. Marley, Monica and I then picked up Oma and took her to Ingo's where we enjoyed his view of Semiamhoo Bay and had some gourmet pizza from Steveston Pizza.
-on Sunday Monica and did our "Walk and Roll" along Broadway. We again enjoyed this walk. It is really interesting to see some of the different shops and restaurants.
-Tuesday was a visit to the lab at the Cancer Agency and then a visit to the oncologist to get the MRI results and the ok to continue with the Bev treatments.
-Tuesday night we went to the health recovery class at the Vancouver Tai Chi Centre. Monica and I both enjoyed this and I was again surprised at what exercises she could do and the determination that she shows.
-Wednesday, Monica had her bi-weekly Bev treatment at the Cancer Agency.
- Today Monica and I attended the funeral of a good friend of Oma's in Richmond.
-tonight- Monica's new chauffeur collapsed in heap
