It's now Wednesday, October 16th and with the help of jet lag we were up at 6:00am and at the first clinic visit by 7:00am.
Leigh-Ann had to fast from 8:00pm the night before so the earlier the appointment the better. She was desperate for a cup of Canadian coffee and a bagel. So was I.
The Canadian system is so incredibly efficient which is very reassuring. We were in and out of there in minutes.
We were promised a call from the oncologist on or before today but it did not materialise so on Thursday morning we called the doctor to follow it up. We were told that upon review of the test results, they needed further tests done and so Leigh-Ann had to fast again and be back at the clinic on Friday morning at 7:00 am.

The other confusing news was that Leigh-Ann now also needed a biopsy!
After breakfast Leigh-Ann's sister, Earla dove us to Hicks Lake. It is a beautiful lake just 15 minute drive away. It was a sunny warm autumn day and the sisters lay on the beach lakeside and chatted whilst I went for a run around the lake. Afterwards we all fell asleep on the beach in the sunshine.
That brings us up to date.
Now there will be a few days waiting for the appointment for a biopsy. Once that is completed we will finally meet the oncologist.
That gave some tears on the Nerja front again guys... Well done, Steve, a great idea this blog, still heart breaking to read and write about. As we said before you are in our hearts and minds every hour of the day. Keep strong, Earla keep on making healthy small meals in that kitchen! ;) Nice pics, great to see you all together, you are in good hands over there, take care of each other guys. We will continue to write and Skype again soon. A big hug from all of us and an extra one from Delilah, lots of love, Yvon xx
ReplyDeleteOh Yvon, thank you so much for your emails and the photos we sent, love them. Delilah looks happy. I hope she is behaving around Pepe and not being too bossy. If Jori wants to throw a ball for Delilah, she would be in 7th Heaven. Today no appointments so we are off to Chilliwack to buy comfy cozy pajamas for Earla and I and then go have a visit with my Mom. I have had so much pain in my back since I arrived but today it seems to have lessened, so I just have to get outside and enjoy life when I feel good. You take care and hugs to 3 and also our doggies. xo Leigh-Ann
