Maybe a Magnesium Drip on Thursday?

We have TWO more trips scheduled to the Chemo Palace, but not for chemo (thankfully!).

Trip one is tomorrow (Thursday, June 23), during which he gets his blood tested and will probably receive a magnesium drip (which only makes him feel better, so no worries there).

Trip two is set for one week later (the following Thursday, June 30) wherein he gets his last meeting with the Madame Boone Oncologist, and finds out if he needs anything else before we are cut loose from Boone and the world of chemo, until the next scan at Wake, later this summer.

I think what I did last time we were on cruise control, during a remission, was to post each Sunday, so folks could check in if they wanted to, for a reliably regular update. I guess I'll do that again, after we're unleashed into the joys of remission.

Thank you for helping to bring this gift of remission into being! It definitely beats the odds, and wasn't "supposed to happen" according to medical prognostics and such.

We are SOOOOOOOO grateful, and we believe that prayer and love and the goodness and inexplicable mercies of God are to credit.

We are thankful also to the mothers and fathers who raised up their children to be intelligent, disciplined, educated and responsible enough to become doctors and scientists and researchers, such that those brilliant minds chose to use their gifts for the good of mankind by developing treatments, machines, and drugs to help fight human suffering.

And we are thankful, also, for Medicare, without which we would have been very financially banged up by this illness.

We find much to think about here and have learned many unexpected lessons, ourselves...
