Today was our last visit to the chemo center at St. Joe's for a final blood draw. And as John's counts all looked great, his picc line was removed. Hooray! He is not slated for any further chemo UNLESS pathology lab results from his upcoming surgery show any sign of live cancer cells. If so, he will have to undergo one or more rounds of chemotherapy after surgery. We are holding great hope that nothing post-surgery will be necessary.
The nurses at the chemo center played Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" and all gathered around John (in his infusion recliner) blowing bubbles ala Lawrence Welk in farewell. Very kool...I mean cool! Both John and I hope to see these fabulous nurses again -- ANYWHERE but the hospital. On a personal level, I continue to be grateful and in awe of the kindness and generosity shown by the many healthcare professionals that have crossed our path. I am humbled by their caring spirit. And I am thankful for you all and your loving support and prayers...Onward...Nancy
Making forward progress, THAT'S how to do it!
