We are looking forward to chemo if you could ever look forward to chemo. Our visit at the oncologist office was on a Thursday but Thursday is my bible study morning so Marsha chose to go to the same oncologist at the Conway office because we could do that on a Friday. Dottie went home but she was talking about making plans for another trip down in a week or two. We had a visit from Jim & Linda Burney during the hospital time but they came here to the house about this time also. I was running around during much of this time with the medical supply company. First the oxygen, then a wheelchair and multiple trips to get oxygen refills. I was looking at lift chairs although I didn't go for that. When I couldn't be home for one reason or another Pat would be there. It would have been very difficult to handle everything without the support of Pat & Dave. We continued to eat together almost every night, more often at our house than theirs, because Marsha was not all that mobile. It seemed still like a slow motion waiting game and nothing that would really improve the outcome. Even the chemo was just to perhaps lengthen her life a little bit but not arrest the cancer.
