Apologies

 At long last I sit down to my computer to file an update on my cancer treatment journey.  Apologies to those of you who have been waiting for word of my progress.  Between building a new house, more doctors' appointments than I would like to count, even more naps, and getting our current house ready to put on the market, I've let my responsibility to you, dear readers, fall by the wayside.  Again, I apologize.

Treatment hasn't been too difficult, and when I had my mid-treatment PET scan back in late November, all indications were that the chemo was doing the trick.  My last chemo session is this coming Tuesday, a few weeks after which, I'll have another scan to determine if I'm done with treatment for now or need to start down a different path.  Of course, I'm hoping to be done and re-enter surveillance mode again, where I'll have annual CAT scans to determine if the cancer remains at bay.  I'm looking forward to regrowing some hair too, though I've been bold enough to go hatless a few times.

Thanks to all of you who've had me in your thoughts and prayers.  I promise to be better about keeping you up to date.

  1. I’m so glad to hear from you. Sounds positive and am so thankful and happy for you. Your plate seems quite full; but, as organized as you seem to be, maybe not so bad. Please put your health first, get lots of rest as possible. I will continue to pray for your healing, comfort and peace. Sending hugs and love to you my sweet niece, Beth.
