A GOOD COUPLE OF WEEKS

Since the last posting Terry has finished one full course of her current chemo. We can't tell if it is successful or not until Monday when she has her blood tested.
The past few weeks have been mostly highs:
1-She had a growth on her palette and the biopsy came back as non-cancerous-she has a blocked salivary gland.
2-Her hearing seemed to be waning so off she goes to another specialist. This time an ENT. He noted there was quite a bit of fluid behind her eardrum. He put in a tube, just like the kids get when they have multiple ear infections. Her hearing improved immediately.
3-We went to NYC for a 4 day vacation and stayed in Times Square at the Marriott Marquis. A super great time as we saw 5 musicals and met with our good friends Paul and Lynne for dinner.
It was a terrific time.
4-After getting back from NYC we drove to Buffalo to visit with some long time friends and ex-neighbors Deanne and Roy Sheppard. They have been putting up with our visits for over 35 years. It was a wonderful time spending time with them. It always is.
5-After Buffalo it was off to Rome, NY to spend two nights at Terry's sister's house. Helen and Bill are absolutely fantastic hosts. The first night in Rome, Terry and I attended a reunion of her 8th grade graduating class. WHAT A BLAST! A good time was had by all.
When all is said and done, the past few weeks have been really good.
