Dear Friends,
I just quickly wanted to let you know that I didn’t really learn anything today. Dr. Fintel said it’s likely that the swollen lymph node are just a reaction to the vaccine. “Likely” it good in horse races, but in other matters sometimes you want “definite”’s. Since my next appointment at Duke is just a week from tomorrow, I guess I’ll just wait for that. Unfortunately there are no scans on the horizon that would answer the question until mid-November unless something changes. I’m thinking that a needle-biopsy might be the only way to know for certain, but that’s just my guess.
Shayley started re-reading the Babysitter Club series over the weekend while we were sitting at the festival. On the way home yesterday she read me a sentence from one called the The Phantom Caller. I can’t remember the exact words, but it was something like, “We often fear nothing as much as something.” –How true, how very true. But it’s so hard to know the difference.
I’m made it around quite well today, though, and was exceedingly glad to visit the chemo room only for blood work and not treatment.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers,
Lydeana
