We had an appointment at the hospital today. The doctor tried again. He proposed a soft chemotherapy, one where she would not lose her hair and where secondary effects were minor; three quick treatments, then a normal schedule.

Guess what? She agreed!

We went ahead immediately. Literally one year to the day when we started the other treatment. I want to see a good omen there. Better yet, I want *her* to see the good omen.

Maybe it is her way of making me a birthday present. All of a sudden, I feel better. I can make plans. I will come back with Arianna in October again. Then Guylaine and Henry invited us for the Holidays; we can stay at their place.

I fly out on Wednesday. I will stopover quickly, then go to Germany for this contract. Things are moving fast now!

Take care

Jer
