Chemo was scheduled for 8.30 this morning. These days Sue usually sleeps until after 9.00am so getting up and ready to leave home before 8.00am in a conscious (if not alert) state was a bit of an effort.

We managed to arrive on time and 'booked in' at the desk. We had barely sat down when one of the nurses came out to advise us that they had "just this minute" received an email from our oncologist indicating that our surgeon was wanting to do an endoscopy so the planned chemo treatment as 'off' for this week. She was appropriately apologetic for the unnecessary trip (which was not her fault anyway) and we were appropriately forgiving and reassuring (without even the hint of any murmuring criticism or ill will!). 

By 8.40 we were driving home. Not quite the morning we planned, though Sue doesn't seem all that shattered by the extended 'poison-free period'!

We are now patiently awaiting some direct contact from either/both the oncologist and the surgeon to discuss the endoscopy that Sue is apparently having this week? Stay tuned......
