We have the visit with the oncologist on Monday morning at 10:30 to discuss the results of yesterday's biphasic CT scan. At 12:30 on Monday, Mary starts her radiation therapy assuming there is no change dictated by the results of the CT scan. Marge has agreed to be the Taxi Service for Monday.
There is the possibility they call and tell us they radiation is being rescheduled. If that happens, it would be a clue that the CT scan results show that chemo will need to be done first. Unless and until that happens, there is really nothing to do except work on Mary getting stronger.
Speaking of Taxi Service, we now have a strong line up consisting of Marge, MaryR, Bill, Ingrid, Marite, Terry, Ingrid and me, too, when possible. Hopefully, that means that of the 25 planned radiation visits, our drivers have no more than four trips each over the six weeks. I have a shutdown week during the six weeks and that adds five days to total 30 visits.
Mary has survived my cooking for some time now. Last night was ahi tuna grilled to perfection, I might add. Sunday night was giant prawns sauteed nicely. We also had corn on the cob and broccoli. All the ingredients come from our Farmers' Market on Sunday--yes, even the fish from a fish monger based in Santa Cruz who does only Los Gatos and Los Altos Farmers Markets. Mary has done a bit prepping food for cooking and has done a lot coaching and answering my questions. It is good to see her in the kitchen and actively participating. Heck, she made herself a prawn salad for lunch today with an extra I cooked Sunday evening.
Tomorrow is the day for The Maids to do the biweekly house cleaning and Mary said she'd just go hang out on the back deck with the dogs. There is both sun and shade on our deck and they'll be there from 11:30 to 1:30 and our weather has turned mild so that is not too bad.
