30. The Joy of Being Able To Count

I like writing to-do lists. Checking things off just makes me feel better. But oh, that feeling times 100 when I can count the pills left in the bottles for Owen’s chemo… without having to shake to really see. Owen has two more days of this round of chemotherapy.


On Thursday, we had a great appointment with Owen’s medical Oncologist, Dr. F.

I know that a typical appointment with a doctor is usually slotted for 20-30 minutes. But Dr. F spent more than double that with us. He is the doctor that is personally calling us at home to check how Owen has been doing this whole time thru radiation and chemo. He said that he thinks Owen is a great candidate for a trial. We have read many articles about the research going into immunotherapy against GBMs. I am praying that he is selected for a trial. Dr. F said Owen’s labs were good. We are back in his clinic on Monday before Owen’s radiation treatment.


Yesterday was my scheduled day off from work. But I felt like I worked all day!! After Owen’s treatment, we had to get Lily and Poppy (our kitties) to their appointment then drop off my car for an oil change and tire rotation. Lily apparently had a singing battle with a husky who wouldn’t stop barking.

It’s so funny how vocal they are when we take them someplace and then on the way home, they are silent and completely content being in their carrier that they weren’t all too fond of just a few hours prior.


This morning is rough. Nausea is heavy for Owen. He is resting. I told him it’s like when you see the last flight of stairs and all of a sudden everything just gets harder. That he is almost there.
