So Far So Good

Greetings Loyal Readers!

Well, so far today has been a plus. Mom's numbers all looked good so, after a two-week absence, Mom is back in chemo today. She's being joined by Melvin (who we affectionately refer to as #2), YFC and a special guest chemo buddy - Cindy Wikoff. If you'd like to be a Chemo Buddy, do make sure to make your reservations well in advance (though we try to accommodate walk-ins, we cannot guarantee availability without a reservation).

Mom discussed treatment options with Cotton Troll. She encouraged Mom to have radiation therapy soon, not because anything is wrong, but because things can change (don't fret loyal readers, it's just a matter of being prudent). She's going to meet with A Cottoned Stork (Doctor Kent Sato) a bit later to further discuss treatment options. Will it be brachytherapy (radioactive seeds)? Will it be radiofrequency ablation? Will it be something completely different and unexpected? Only time will tell Dear Readers, and when it does, all the juicy details will be revealed first here in The Chemo Chronicle.

Finally, let's go to the YFC mailbag (a recurring feature in The Chronicle perhaps?)...Kurious in Kentucky (her spelling, not mine...blame it on their educational system) writes:
YFC, I have been reading you most faithfully for lo these many months now. You are so faithful and so wise and I hold you in the highest esteem. Can you tell us a little more about Cotton Troll? Is she really made of cotton? Is she really a troll?

Thank you for your accolades KK. Let's set the record straight -- Doctor Ann Mellott, a/k/a Troll Named Cotton is not a troll, nor is she made of cotton. Believe it or not she's actually a human just like you or me (well, like you anyway...to many Loyal Readers YFC is more of a minor deity). YFC has a special treat for all of my loyal readers too -- a picture of the Troll with Mom.

Pretty spiffy, eh? Look long and hard -- the Troll wasn't all that keen on posing for a picture. YFC wasn't even all that sure that a Troll's image would appear on camera (or was that a vampire? hmm...).

More after our meeting with Le Stork. We haven't met the Stork yet, but YFC has commissioned a mock-up of what we *think* he'll look like (our artist's rendition is to the right) -- a rather striking pose, no?
Ok, my Loyal, Lucky Readers. You get me one more time today. And why? Because YFC loves each and every one of you.
More soon...
Faithfully,
Corey
