Keeping the doctor happy

Here in northern California it was cold and misty all day.  I drove past the vineyards early this morning when the workers were all wearing jackets and I had the heater and windshield wipers on.  Weird for July.

The oncologist doesn't want to see me for three months.  I went for an infusion of Aredia (a bone strengthener) and a visit with him.  My tumor marker is just a few points above normal - where it sat for ten years - and showed a 12-point drop from May.  All my other lab results were within normal range, Yes!

I am now free to resume my life, which is a good thing since I signed up for a painting class next fall, have five dogs in the house, and am busy making more camping plans with Youngest Grandson and Youngest Daughter.

I don't know what I would have done if the oncologist had reported bad news.  I mean, when you feel well you step on it!
