It was another kind of pink last week.
The 'Giro d'Italia' started in Holland this year and last Sunday
the cycling caravan passed our place Houten.
Because of this special event Jet invited the whole family for
an Italian dinner after watching the Giro show.
It was a nice way to delay thinking about the impending visit to
the oncologist. A new bonescan was made and the result should be
discussed in two days.
A lovely party. Jet decorated the room with Italian banners and
other things in green, white and red. The food was delicious and
when the guests were gone, the kitchen was packed with plates,
cutlery and glasses. And empty bottles of course. Many !
On Monday the reality weighed heavily on the shoulders.
Anxious waiting. Enough green and red napkins to wipe the tears.
Tuesday 10.05 a.m.
Doctor de Jong told us that the result of the bonescan was very
good. Some of the metastasis visible last time in november
were invisible now. .
Probably one could hear our breath of relexation outside the room.
Also the testing of the blood gave an excellent result.
We were driving home on a pink cloude. Whoever shall win the Giro,
Jet will never give away her 'maglia rosa'
