This afternoon Sherry was discharged from Oncology at KMC. She had reached the benchmarks of being able to tolerate oral versions of the drugs she had been receiving via IV, and she was strong enough to use a walker which she demonstrated taking short trips up and down the hall under the watchful eye of the physical therapist.
She will resume her Avastin treatments on Monday, so any respite the tumors may have been enjoying will soon be over. She will complete her regimen of radiation therapy next Friday, November 27th. It is nice to be able to see the end of it. She should have another MRI soon after to determine the effect the various therapies have had on the tumors, and suggest the next course of action.
That is down the road. In the meantime we embraced his gray day where the horizon was obliterated and it was impossible to tell where the Earth ended and the sky began. That didn't really matter. Our feet are on the ground and we are home.
