Thank you for your prayers Gail Sis'
Mary's son 'David', knew how to get to the hospital [miles away]
and we got there in just over twenty minutes
Mary's blood was 'tested' before we saw the doctor
who informed us, that because of Mary's weight-'loss'
she would need to have some tests on her heart and kidneys [Tomorrow]
and would start with an adjusted 'chemo' next Monday[to protect those organs]
dependant upon the results of those particular tests
While we were waiting in a side room [examination room] ~for the doctor
David took to some clowning around with a head band optical light that he 'found'
on a table in the room
I will post the video, when Maggie shares it with me, later
David's brusque and somewhat 'pointed' questions to the doctor
were a little disturbing to Mary [just 'his way']
"By how much will this chemo extend her life"
The answer was not given, for it was a very negative-enquiry [not to say: 'insensitive'] at this stage
he won't be coming with us tomorrow ! Thank goodness
Mary's outlook is 'more positive' and still 'bright', at this time
While I understand David's motive for asking
I would prefer that he let his Mum, ask questions, of the doctors....
and that she should 'learn' ~whatever is appropriate for her to absorb, as time goes on
We picked up some bottles of ENSURE (
drinks) at the pharmacy in the hospital
and 56 tins of ENSURE at the pharmacy on the way home
and, Mary dropped off a note, from the hospital, at her doctor's surgery [afterwards]
suggesting an ongoing prescription be made for ENSURE DRINKS also
On prescription, these supplementary foodstuffs are FREE of charges
I will update, [whenever]

God bless you all
