What a crazy couple of weeks!!
In between coughing and sneezing and losing our voices DD1 and I went been back and forth (she drove almost every other day, poor lamb!) to Montreal to the McGill Fertility Clinic in a last ditch effort to salvage the G-man and I some future grandchildren! Collection day was the worst with both of us fainting after an obscene number of tries to get a IV line in (an unfortunate side effect of chemo has left DD1's viens scarred and all but useless), but the good nurses persevered and one very large Visa bill later (no OHIP does not cover this even for cancer patients - call your MP!) we have 5 grand champions on ice! Money well spent, I think! Your can't get any better grandparent guilt complex than your grandchildren owing you their very existence, now can you:))))
And so as we came to the end of the week, and the end of our colds, DD1 was as ready as she could be for her heamotologists' appointment to get the Bone Marrow Transplant underway. I should have known something was up when she made pina colada's for supper that night! Seems while she was been prepping for the big bang, her body was doing some covert manouvers of its own, and lo and behold her mass has shrunk a substantial amount all on its own!
To say we are all amazed would be an understatement! There were more than a few tears of relief over those yummy drinks, for sure! And the paper umbrella? The transplant has been postponed for at least three months as they take a watch and see approach!
Does it get any better? I think not!
Knit on......

That's good news so happy Mother's Day!
Congrats on getting five future grand champions on ice. What a procedure and I'm shocked that OHIP doesn't cover anything! I'll definitely write to my MP.
What great news that the tumor has shrunk on its own! I don't have pina coladas but I do have wine and I will drink to that tonight. {{{HUGS}}}
