At Stanford

We arrived at 12:30 and Mary is now standing in line for her blood test. They'll take the information, she'll sit down until they call her into the lab area. When that is done, we'll go upstairs to check in with the chemo folks.

It was a quiet morning. I finished putting lawn furniture away and buttoning up all the the external openings in the house. We are expecting a really rough first winter storm--winds up to 70mph (125kph) and lots of rain. Hopefully, we won't lose power but we can survive that. Mary had the fireplace insert installed a couple of years ago so we can stay warm. And, we have two LP cooking devices so we can heat up food if we need to.

Mary is tense about the chemo--because we really don't know how it will affect her. "Mild" chemo may be aggressive for her and she is concerned that will be the outcome.

More soon.
