Summertime

It's been awhile since we were finishing the last message stating that after the last chemo treatment a liver scan should give guidance on the impact of 6 treatments.

Actually the whole chemo treatment existed  of 9 cures and these had, of course, their impact on the overall condition.

The first three cures had no effect and the bad message was that the cancer markers increased dramatically.

We seriously took account to the fact that we would get no more summer.

But the new chemo species gradually began to have effect, the blood values were becoming more beautiful  and by these positive development also the fighting spirit came back again.

That ran approximately parallel to the hair growth.

Without hesitation and as proud owner of velvety gray hairs, Jet walks through the local super markets and other shops.

The grandchildren enjoy the new hair of their Omi. The stroking by those children's little hands influences  growth absolutely.

Yesterday again a conversation with the oncologist. The last liver scan indicated that no deteriorated conditions were found and the blood research confirmed that positive development.

After the third failed chemotherapy,  the cancer markers were more than 4000. And now, after the six new treatments are the value sunk to 139.

Every month there is still a check necessary by taking blood samples, but we were advised to go to have a nice rest and holidays.

What a great advice. Who would have thought this six months ago?

We will certainly follow up that good advice.

So the next time you will not read a lot of news here.

Maybe a vacation photo from Switzerland.

It's silly season.
