Anna was scheduled for treatment on Monday, but the doctor decided to cancel it. She went in for her appointment, but her platelets were on the border of being low so the doctor decided that it wasn't worth it to push things. Even though there was no treatment, it was a great appointment for Anna because her primary Oncology doctor was back from vacation. She was able to catch up with him and ask all of her questions that had built up over the last couple of weeks. The fact that he canceled treatment is not cause for concern. He just wanted to give her body a little more time to bounce back from things last week. Her next appointment is on Thursday, so she'll have a couple more days to relax.
She really has been feeling great. At this point, she can't remember the last time she had to take pain meds, so that is a great sign. Overall, she's just continuing to feel better and better every day. Since Anna didn't have an appointment, she went into the city with her Aunt and spent some time with TJ. It's been a bit tough on her with being separated from TJ, but it's only for a week and this arrangement is best for everyone.
My mom is down next week and they'll be back together out here in Jersey. Also, Anna's god-sister Nana (aka Ili) will be up next week for a few days. She hasn't seen Anna since this started, so I'm sure it'll be great for them to spend some time together.
Friday night looks like a drinking night in the city... (for me, but not Anna). If you are around and interested, drop me an email. I owe quite a few people drinks for making donations and definitely look forward to catching up with people given that I haven't been out in quite a while.
Special thanks to Dave and Julia for sending the care package. Also, thanks to Veronica for the flowers and holy water.
Hope everyone voted today.

Thinking of you all!
It's been a bit since I've signed in. Sick with the COPD stuff, but on the mend. Yes, I voted. I do an absentee ballot. Anna, I very happy that you are feeling better. Prayers will continue that this direction will continue. My love to you, honey and your wonderful family. God Bless, and Keep the faith! Aunt Cheryl
Drinking night, eh?
Good for you Tom. We try to make Friday nights our drinking night as well, but I went to temple tonight. So we drank Thursday night with friends. Liz Johnson asked for both of you. So glad to hear that progress continues in the right direction, and you were able to see your primary oncology doctor. Have a wonderful weekend.
