Cathy, Kyle & Carrigan were invited for a homemade corned beef and cabbage dinner last Sunday which kicked off their celebration of St Patrick’s Day this year. Carrigan wore the new t-shirt Nana gave her that said, “Kiss me I’m Chirish, half Chinese half Irish”. It was the perfect thing to wear to her Chirish cousins’ house where they enjoyed the company of extended family, food (especially homemade key lime pies) and the spring-like weather. In addition, Cathy made her delicious Irish soda bread which is always a special treat. Team Cathy wishes a Happy St Patrick’s Day to our extended family and friends who celebrate this occasion.
Although it can be a problem when scheduling errors occur, Cathy & Kyle were able to take advantage of one recently. As they were heading into the city this past Monday, Cathy got a call that there was a mix-up regarding her CT scan and it would have to be postponed. Since they had planned to meet Ken (her brother) for lunch, they continued on in. The weather was typical of a day in May and not March so besides a great lunch, they were able to enjoy being in the city. They hit their favorite eatery, Gyro II, near Madison Square Garden and then took a stroll through Central Park. They got lost in the Ramble (which is what the designers intended), saw Strawberry Fields, Alice in Wonderland, crossed the Bow Bridge and watched children learn to play hockey and figure skate at Wollman Rink.
On Tuesday, Cathy had her regularly scheduled chemo session and she is scheduled for a CT scan next Wednesday. This will be the first scan after starting the new drug, Irinotecan. Naturally, we’re very hopeful for a good report. We are grateful that she is not having problems with any prior issues that we had mentioned previously.
