A week ago I went in for chemo. My CT scan done a few days before was “stable”. That remains wonderful news. I was more nervous than usual. No visitors were allowed in the waiting room (although I saw 2 patients accompanied by another person).

My Oncologist told me the first patient tested positive for Covid-19 in my old ICU that morning. There were 6 known positive Covid-19 in my county. Today there are 18 known cases in my county and 6 in my old workplace (community hospital). A slow steady climb which is no surprise. Limited testing is happening here so I expect more people to be hospitalized in the near future.

I honestly don’t know if I will get chemo in 3 weeks. My Oncologist promised his staff would call if it was not safe and I promised I would call if I did not feel safe.

They say it is going to be a very bad week for the country this week. I believe NC is lagging behind so it may be worse here the end of April or later. Public schools have been closed since March 16th with gradual closure of non-essential businesses afterward.

We are still anticipating living in the “Undiscovered Country,” the future. One day at a time.
