So It Goes

So it goes; another of those weeks where there is neither positive nor negative. Or perhaps like a physics experiment the outcome could simultaneously be either...or none.
Blood levels are good enough for more chemo...which may or may not be working.
Scheduled yet another thoracentesis....which may or may not bring easier breathing.
Scheduled yet another MRI; this time of the skull....which may or may not provide useful diagnostic information.
So it goes.
Karen is having some not very positive days and it's rubbing off.  
But why do we have to be positive? Life is hard enough without trying to be those tough cheerful cancer survivors that show up on TV shows. We tear up and applaud their bravery.
So it goes.
In fact Karen's been focused on all the topics I want to avoid... making sure her affairs are in order, where to bury her, talking to our doctor about how and when to contact Hospice.
Thankfully the oncologist is still hopeful; not for a cure but for more time. I am hopeful for more positive time and a turn toward a lighter mental attitude this week.
So it  goes.
