The last two weeks have been pretty good. I had my vacation from chemo on August 13th and then on the 15th we went on our vacation to Osoyoos with our son,daughter in law and granddaughter. On the first day Abby and me played on the lake on inflatable armchairs. It was heaven, bobbing on the waves in the warm lake. The chemo I am on makes me very sun sensitive so I had to cover up. I wore my bright yellow "Relay for Life" T shirt and bicycle shorts along with my big sun hat. When Paul and Mel returned from shopping they could not contain the giggles. Paul said I looked like a warning buoy bobbing on the lake. My driving caused a few giggles too when I took them all on a winery tour. Apparently I drive like a "nana" I blamed "chemo brain" but I think I have become more cautious with age. I took a wrong turn and had to a 3 point turn that ended up being a 7 or 8 point turn. When I looked in the mirror I saw Paul and Mel sitting on the back seat with lips pursed trying hard not to giggle but not making a sound. I broke the silence by saying "shut up" and everyone in the car collapsed in fits of laughter. It was one of those funny family moments we will never forget. On return home there was a message on my answer machine to say that the tumour marker test showed that the levels have dropped significantly so the chemo is working well. On Friday it was back to chemo and all went well. I had an Angel IV pole again so thanks to everyone for all the positive thoughts and prayers. My hair is now falling out but I am not bald yet. The side effects are not as bad so far this week.
