Last Thursday's treatment was only 9 hours, record short time for me. Martha and I went to the Liberty Hotel afterward, walked around the lobby, saw Clink, and the Alibi Bar, and had dinner downstairs. It was a fun way to end the day.
Side effects so far have been minimal, this again is HUGE. I credit the daily Reiki mantra, massage and acupuncture, and blessing the infusion bags. Everything seems to be working together to minimize the discomfort I'd felt before.
Steve and I drove down the Cape for an overnight last weekend. It was great to be up and about. It snowed on Sunday, so beautiful.
My last Taxol treatment is March 12. I'll spend two days at the hospital for scans and pre-op tests, March 19 and 20. March 23 I'll meet with the surgeon, surgery is scheduled for April 6. Everything's moving right along !!
I'm taking a break between meeting with the surgeon and the surgery date. Martha and I will spend a few days with Mary Susanne in Tuscon. I think poolside Margaritas will be the order of the day there. Steve will visit Mr. Tu in Los Angeles where I'll meet him for an overnight. We'll spend the next few days with Sarah and Greg, a much belated Christmas visit. I see morning walks, martinis and shopping on this leg. On the way home I'll stop in Portland to see Jack and Ana. SO looking forward to long talks, Wall Street Pizza and visiting with "the ladies".
I'm almost a third of the way through my journey. I'm blessed beyond words to have so many loving friends and family following my story. I think of you constantly, you're my source of strength, inspiration and hope. "Thank you" hardly seems adequate, but know that I do, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

So glad that this lastest treatment was "uneventful". So glad you will be able to take time for yourself as you are about to enter the 2nd phase of your journey. Remember I am here for you and as you know will help in any way I can to make things easier for you.

Chemo's history!!! 9 down, 0 to go.
We went over to the Yawkey Center together, met with Dr Erban, informed him that he'd better work on his "happy dance" routine and then spent the rest of the day uneventfully in Room 410. BTW, DR E reported that Igor was barely detectable; cinders and a spot of grease. We were home by 4:45, a bit drained but comforted by knowing that the most demanding portion of this ordeal is behind her.
Your support and love are touching and keep us focussed.
Steve
