We had an encouraging visit with our oncologist, Dr. Polowy, and his Physicians' Assistant, Jenna, this morning. My blood results were very positive, all things considered, and there seems to be no reason to be overly concerned with anything at this juncture. The best news of all.....it appears that there might be the possibility of a short vacation before radiation and oral chemotherapy start.
Thank you again, Tami, for your willingness to put pen to paper to wrap up our appointments in your concise words. Thank you again, Jody, for faithfully sitting next to me in the chemo room, attending not only to my needs but to the needs of surrounding patients as well. Thank you, Lee Ann, for the perfect Bible verse to serve me well on this day.
There is such beauty in this chemotherapy room, such a sense of camaraderie between nurses, patients and accompanying family members and/or friends. I have not often experienced the spirit of mutual care and concern that is found here. What a gift we can be to one another when we take the focus off ourselves.
