Hillary here - missed this post from Sunday so you get two today!
Day 39, Magic Number 3!! Does that sound like we’re almost at the finish line, or what?
Peter just appeared in the kitchen, all dressed up in his new trousers and trusty leather jacket, ready to go to his radiation appointment. “But it’s Sunday!”, I reminded him.
Peter’s last day of chemo is Wednesday, then Thursday is the last radiation session. I learned last week that he will continue getting chemo five days a month, and the Avastin will continue every two weeks, but those sessions are cut in half each time so that he will work his way down to only seven minutes of Avastin. We’ll find out in March what Duke expects of him now, but the last I heard, they want to see him every other month ad infinitum.
Another wardrobe change for Peter. He has layered up under all his thermally-insulated work clothes and is making his way outside to do some yard work. Don’t know how long he’ll endure it out there, although 41 degrees is an improvement over the 24 degrees we had at seven o’clock this morning. Peter can’t resist Spring, though, so it will take more than that to keep him inside!
This promises to be a busy week of doctor visits and family visits; Peter’s oldest brother, Gaby, arrives in Atlanta tomorrow, with his 19-year-old grandson, Erik. Lis will pick them up at the airport and we’ll figure out a schedule so that the brothers can have some quality time together. The original plan was hatched several months ago and would have included a trip to New Orleans but, sad to say, that won’t be possible now. We’ll have to find ways to Laissez Les bon Temps Rouler here at home!
