House Calls

Who says Doctors don't make house calls??

Joe Kelley MD, MJ's oncologist just stopped by our house to discuss the plan for next week. MJ will have a chest/abdominal x-ray tomorrow, along with a brain MRI. Then....chemo on Monday. We are looking forward to the chemo, in the hope that it will alleviate the tumor in MJ's abdomen, allowing her to eat again. And we are shooting for... dare I say it?...another remission.

We'll keep you up to date. Wish us luck!

  1. You dare say it and so do I. Still amazed you had a house call. Well done you (as they say over here across the pond). Missing yinz and rooting hard for tomorrow and Monday

    Love to you all,

  4. You'll have to move to Paris for regular house calls I think. One of the things I love the most over here. That and the IV's dripping with wine of course ;-)

  5. Even those that make house calls only do so for the most special of patients, and you certainly meet that criteria. We not only dare remission, we will pray for it and believe that it will happen. We are counting on the outlier trend to continue Sis. I just finished filling Mom and Dad in on the details and mom was on her way to storm into
    Gods office once again before I finished, and we all know what she can get done when she sets her mind to it.

    1. I am confident that Aunt Dolores' entourage not only includes St. Therese but also MJ's father Joe; Aunts Adele, Lena, Annie, and Mary Jane; and Uncles Gus, Johnny, Mikey, and Bob. If this was a game of Cinch, I'd "shoot the canoe" on success...xxxooo John Robert

  6. And I've got my girl St. Therese on it, too. She's a little one full of might (just like someone else I know). God love you, MJ! Big prayers going up from South Jersey. XO
