Our usual day with 11AM radiation, but with some afternoon bloodwork added in. The lab work was done today in preparation for tomorrow's chemo, so by the time we arrive at chemo around Noon, they will already know whether John's neutrophil counts are back up in normal ranges and if they can proceed.
Lots of special treats this evening after dinner. The Young Professional ACS (American Cancer Society) volunteers came bearing all the fixings for decorating sugar cookies along with hot chocolate and hot cider. What a fun and delicious idea!!! We, then, proceeded to music therapy in the livingroom with our interns, Jaclyn & Nic, who led us in a discussion and musical celebration of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Enjoyed hearing some of the favorite Christmas memories that were shared and also everyone opening up and sharing what's important to them this time of year and, for that matter, all year long.
So many thanks to the young professionals and Jaclyn & Nic for taking their time to share with us all. It's a wonderful thing they do, but I doubt they know just how much it is needed and appreciated. They're a very special group and we wish them a very Merry Christmas!!!
