It's been a whole week since I last posted.  Sorry for the delay!  That delay means we had a good week last week - we were too busy for the internet!  We had a guest staying with us who was working with the marching band, I went to band rehearsal Thursday, and we all went to the tailgate and game Friday.  We went to the Miami football game on Saturday, followed by Jonah's baseball game and the marching band competition at Kings.  Cathy wants to do what she can do while she feels like doing it.  She was feeling good, so we did it all!  

Jayne went to chemo with Cathy yesterday.  They said it was extremely crowded, but they got through in a little less time than usual.  Cathy was an inspiration to a frightened triple negative patient who was about to receive her first treatment.  We're hoping that they'll meet again today at the Neulasta shot so Cathy can get her contact information.

Cathy's time with Dr. Drosick led to some good reassurance and a minor adjustment.  Last week the radiation oncologist at Christ said that she could feel Cathy's tumor.  Since that time Cathy has been more aware of it and thought that it might be a little larger, but far less dense than when chemo started.  We were both a little nervous about that.  Dr. Drosick said that he thought both sides felt the same and that she has had a great chemo response.  That's reassuring.  He thought that Cathy might be more aware since that appointment and that since she lost weight that she might be feeling the pressure of her ribs on the breast tissue.  Her weight loss also led to a reduction in dosage for the chemo meds this time - not much, but a slight reduction.  

We're going to enjoy today because Cathy will be tired tomorrow.  We're are all so grateful for the love, care, and prayers from so many people.
