Insurance won't cover the trip to Hawaii while receiving treatments...so instead of dashing of to the tropical island of Maui this week, Ronan is lined up to start Round 6 of chemo on Monday. Because of Ronan's progress, the doctors really didn't want to delay treatments, so it will be nice when we do travel not to have chemotherapy to look forward to when we get back!!
We saw Judy at the Regional today and she was totally impressed at how great Ronan looked (2 weeks post-surgery today!) and said that the doctors at the IWK told her that Ronan was a star. :)
Maureen and Peter - it was lovely to see you today!

Hi Ronan, Thanks for helping me yesterday(and I bet you didn't even know you did!). I went to the Dr. and he told me I had to get a big needle in my hip and I said, NO! and he said, YES! So... he won and I had to get it and I was scared and covered my ears(I should have covered my eyes but I kind of forgot!) and I thought ,'Ronan could do this!' so I did it too. I am glad it is done...I am glad you are doing so well .Barbara.
ReplyDeleteAli and Ronan, it was awesome to see you too!! And what an inspiration--Ronan you look strong and healthy and wonderful, and you are a superstar!! When you have finished everything at the IWK, the doctors will be bragging about you for years!! You have set an amazing example of courage and victory for many people!! And boy you are going to have a ball in Hawaii with all this behind you!! God bless!!
ReplyDeleteWasn't Michael Ignatieff lucky to meet YOU, Ronan! You looked pretty calm and cool during the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you haven't heard from me much, I have been following your progress closely and am so gald that things are going so well. Won't those beaches in Hawaii be wonderful after this miserable winter.
Keep fighting and remember you have a big cheeering section.
