Ah, you thought I was going to say Columbus Day. The link goes to a kinda long article, so don't click unless you have some time to burn.
Roberto has received a couple more cards and I finally have a new picture of the card wall. The certificate of chemotherapy completion is in the upper left. Also, he recently got another gift card to In and Out! I've bought some extra tofu for dinners this week in an attempt to counter-balance all the burgers I see in my near future.
Also, Roberto's special thank yous were ALL returned by the post office for insufficient postage! That automated teller lied to us - the machine uprising is starting. So, Roberto will be making a fun visit to the post office tomorrow.
Sunday was the last day of the recovery part of Cycle 4 which makes it Roberto's last official day of chemotherapy! This is the week we learn how much of the tumor is left and the oncologist's thoughts. We already know the next step after this week is consulting with a thoracic surgeon, but it's still good to get the last word on the tumor from the oncologist before surgery. There is a minor setback to this week; the order for Roberto's CT scan was not processed or something equally bureaucratic. Roberto's other fun errand for tomorrow is to call the hospital to make sure the CT scan is scheduled. Yay!
Roberto also relinquished the downstairs bathroom and cleaned it so the non-chemo people are no longer relegated to running upstairs to relieve themselves. Yay for convenience!
There's not much else to update about Roberto's condition. He's doing more but still gets pretty tired during the day. We were planning to go hiking on Sunday, but I had to do some grading and Roberto didn't want to go hiking with our friend without me. He knows that I'm the only person obligated to carry him if he can't make it back to the car. It has something to do with "being my fiancee" and "you can't just let me die in the wild." We'll try again next weekend.
Post-Chemo/Pre-Surgery - Day 1!
