Love Potion Number Nine...

Well, if it's doing me some good, I guess that makes it a love potion...
Today's news consists of a blood test at the new Labtests outfit (7 people clad in orange to greet me at 7.20am - wonder how long this type of reception will last?).
Then a CT scan at Ak hospital at 8.45am, after having visited Lois's mum, who was admitted to hospital last night with a severe headache, nausea and temperature - she is still in there for observation - the latest thoughts were that it is a virus (as you may know, L's mum, Lorna, has chronic leukaemia, and a virus can have very serious consequences).
The CT scan was VERY quick - no nonsense ("Have you done one of these before? You have? Right then - sort yourself out and we'll have you out in no time").
Back to school to assess year 12s and gee up the year 13s - then out again, picking up Lois and going to talk to Doctor Paul about the results so far...
He showed me 2 scan pictures - March and August (we later talked about where the June one had gone...)
The March photo shows big lumps of grey in the liver - the tumours.
The August one (today's) shows very small specks - the decrease in size CONTINUES.
The cancer count as at last Tuesday has gone down to 290...from 4000... Alexander worked out that is a 92.6% (approx) decrease.
Can we eradicate the other 7.4% by the end of the treatment?
This is my hope and prayer - and with cancer there can be no half measures...as Gil, my boss, likes to say, "do it to them before they do it to you" (in a lighthearted tone!)...
Back to school to rehearse with the Super Twelve - Lee has cooked up a lovely version of "I Have a Dream" with them, for the Abba celebration on 16th Sep...and of course I shared my GOOD NEWS with them (Doctor's quote today is "dramatic" reduction).
Back home as Lois headed out to her second law test.
Dinner with the kids, followed by sittin' on the sofa with Sophie watchin' Star Trek (original series).
Working at memorising "In My Life" by the Beatles for Daffodil Day...
Ready for bed, and dream of pirate chemo tomorrow.
G'night!
