Monday's Visit to Oncology

Oncology visit today. I met another amazing GH Doctor who lives just down the street from us. He did say I would be having radiation and the pill form of chemo simultaneously for approximately 6 weeks. He doesn't expect me to lose my hair but the chemo may make me sick at first. They may need to change my pill dosage once we see how I tolerate it. He doesn't anticipate I'll have too many problems. I start my treatment next Monday, 10/26.

I can't say enough about the care I've been receiving at Group Health. For all you folks who still refer to GH as Group Death, just know we are in good hands.

Things have been trucking along normally with us. Peter's body is aching, Misha started working 55+ hour work weeks to get a new sports bar open very soon, I am splitting my time between the parent's home and my own - trying to fit homework in. Sasha is always busy at work, as is Kei - and with a doggy brood of 3 - they have their hands full. And Mom, she just goes with everyone else's flow - doesn't really get much of a say about her day with all the appointments and therapy visits, but I don't think she minds too much yet. I am sure one day soon, the very seldom seen Exasperated Bonnie will come through and she will have some words (probably with Dad -ha!)

Mom says they are going to push back her mammogram. With radiation being 5 days a week for 6 weeks - who really wants one more hospital trip? Honestly.

Here is one of the cards we have made previously. I haven't photographed the new ones from Sunday - but you can get the idea!
