After a three month hiatus from all her cancer meds,
but in the meantime a plethora of scans and other
testing, Carol started a new chemo treatment this month.
She goes two Fridays in a row, skips a week and then
repeats.
She gets the third dose this Friday and I'm pretty
sure I can already see a difference. You see, the cancer
looks like a red rash across her chest. The good news is
that after all the tests, there appear to be no signs of
any cancer in any organs, bones or lymph glands.
This treatment is supposed to reduce the cancer on her
chest so they will have a smaller area to attack with radiation.
So far, the side effects are minimal. Mostly just being tired
the day of and the day after treatment. But, it's early,
so who knows if any other yuckies will show up later.
We'll deal with it if that happens.
Other than that, we're all completely, thoroughly and
most definitely ready for this Summer's extreme heat
and humidity to be gone. We don't have a/c, so other than
open windows and fans on high, it can get uncomfortable.
I really hope September will be milder.

You both remain in my prayers, whatever that is worth
It's worth a lot, Joe. Thank you.
I don't have fortunes. But... a window ac is about... $100~$150. I could eat balogna for a month, get you one anyway. Electric isn't too bad. Mine is usually $40, but with two window ac's it goes to ~$100. So about $30 per, here anyway.
Just an offer. I'll... change some things in my cart if you would take the offer. Oh, and in higher humidity, ac works much better than here.
You are a dear for offering.
It isn't the money. We can afford the units. But, the house is old and the wiring might not handle it. Anyway, I'd lose sleep over the possibility of a fire. We can handle the heat with the fans moving the air.
We bought a new furnace several years ago and they offered a package deal if we added an a/c unit. Unfortunately, the house also needs more insulation ...I'm going to research some other options.
Thanks, again for offering, Doom.
Oh, I get that. Just... Well...
Still, good to hear things are mostly up. Be well.
Plus, didn't have a/c in Florida. So I survived much worse there.
p.s. the last comment I left at your place posted three times! Sorry, no idea why. Feel free to delete.
