I remember learning the pinch test for dehydration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSo0Cwhsm-A
... won ton soup was a favorite for my mother..

But as cyclists we use the color of the pee test. Problem is on organized rides it's blue.

Thai Kitchen instant soups are good. Takes only a couple of minutes to cook. Can be endlessly doctored; add an egg, veggies like chives or chard from the container garden, chicken or pork ... as of today her appetite is roaring back. So Chef Trek is just trying to keep up. Always a good sign.

This last round or last for a while will be tough. Normally she's feeling almost normal by the last 2-3 days of the round. So we get a tiny rest before starting hell anew. Her doctor's going on vaycay so next session is bumped earlier one day. Means not much of a break or none.

Argh.

yeah i cherished those few days of feeling somewhat normal between treatments!!...hoping this is an ending to chemo and the beginning of putting it behind.

We never said we’re smart, just cute.

and...((HUGS)) to two cuties.....

So PET scan, CAT scan done. Why no DOG scan?

Finally some good news. The metastasize in her liver is gone, vanished, deleted, missing, MIA ... gone.

The tumor on her colon is the same size but it’s not as hot. Less active. So now her oncologist talks to her surgeon and we start seeing appts with him. It’ll be anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks till surgery.
