Judy had another CT scan on October 16.  We got the results yesterday.  Her condition remains stable.  Chemotherapy is keeping the 3 areas of concern in check.  Dr. Ahmed has referred Judy to a Vancouver thoracic oncologist for a second opinion on the two lesions in the lung area.  The referral is a matter of due diligence on Dr. Ahmed's part.  The Vancouver doctor may have a method that has not been considered.  We will likely be traveling to Vancouver in November.
Judy's white cell count was a new high yesterday... 2.48 only 3 weeks following her last chemo.  Judy's next chemo is scheduled for October 30.

Judy had chemo on Tuesday, September 30.  After chemo in the morning, Judy went to the dentist for a two hour session with the dentist because she had an abscessed tooth.  She has been very tired this week probably because of the antibiotics on top of chemo.  We were supposed to go to our first ballroom dance class of the season this evening, but Judy is just "mentally tired".  Enter Mary as my stand in dance partner for the evening.  Judy is resting and taking care of herself.  Hopefully, she will be back in the game tomorrow.  I don't have to tell you, but if you know Judy, you know she is one tough cookie.  Thanks to your prayers and encouragement and Judy's fortitude, she rises to the challenge and stays positive and amazes people with her resilience.  I know I used too many "ands" in my last sentence; however, you get the point.
We are looking forward to having Judy's brother, David, visit us for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Next chemo is scheduled for October 30.  Next CT scan will be on October 16.
