Minnie--October 4th is one of my milestones too--'Review' after chemo and CT scan--may get another 'prognosis' which I've avoided until now---but I am going to ask him if he thinks it's worth my buying new Christmas Lights and Decorations--also one of my main 'longish' term plans.
Also be good to have a 'recheck' on whether I should go to CA to visit my daughter (though it looks like it will have to be without insurance!)
Your whole family is wonderful and I wish you all the best of luck with all your efforts, I'm so glad the 'insurance' thing isn't an issue for us in the UK (as long as we stay at home that is!)
Take care Minnie, it will soon be Thursday, then 'life starts again' for you,
