Return to Reality

The first few days of our Miami trip were a bit on the chilly and rainy side (still better than Illinois weather so we tried not to complain that much).  After rearranging some of our appointments/work back home, we opted to spend another five days...considering the forecast was sunny and in the 80's.  Why not?  The sun soothes my soul and warms my heart!  Good medicine.

On our return flight the pilots were kind enough to take the boys into the cockpit and explain all kinds of things to them.  The boys were in heaven.

Last  Monday I had my follow-up CT Scan after my two rounds of chemo....and the following day we met with my oncologist to discuss the results and then continue on my day with chemo treatment.  She walked into the room saying she had good news for me.  The scan showed a 40% reduction everywhere (with the first two new chemo rounds).  In fact, she said "it was even better than she expected".  Oh happy day!  Happy day!

The plan is to do 2 more cycles of this protocol and then reevaluate.  I finish up the 3rd round last week and am now just recovering from the chemo fatigue, dehydration and on occasion nausea.

Enjoying the good news in my life.

Peace, Love & Miracles

Having a sleep over with one of my sweethearts....love that he still sucks his thumb (holding onto the baby days as long as I can).
