That would be weeks of radiation, as the countdown begins !! We celebrated my having made it through the first week of chemo pills, radiation and Herceptin infusion. The first day took longer than expected, 8 hours in all, so we had to postpone cocktails at the Liberty Hotel. I'm thinking the end of treatment would be a better time to PARTAY. More on this later.
So far, so good. I'm tired but able to nap. I've started a "sunburn" which usually doesn't happen until a few weeks into treatment. If I turn tomato red by the end of this week, the doctor will adjust the chemo dose. I'm seeing the Reiki therapist, continuing acupuncture and looking into yoga or Pilate's for breast cancer patients, offered through the hospital. Lots to keep me busy in between daily trips to radiation and doctor appointments.
We continue driving down the Cape on weekends. It's peaceful and beautiful, the perfect balance to weeks in the city. Chrissie's been able to come with us, hopefully work won't interfere with this schedule.
I continue to be strong because of you. Thanks for your love and well wishes. My thoughts are with you.

Hi Kathy
Do you remember that picture, it looks like it should be a crest toothpaste commercial. Anyway I am happy that Igor is not with you anymore. Your positive approach is admired. I hope you keep progressing in the right direction. Enjoy the Cape and the cocktails. Take care hope to see you soon.
I changed my picture too!! I loved Seattle. Glad your doing well and you've really mastered the art of a great attitude. Miss hanging with you but there are still some shifts to be filled!!
Hi all,
Thanks to each of you who has provided a group picture; they are joyful reminders of the years of friendship we've all shared. They also foretell of years of future happiness together,
Steve
You'll be done with all this soon and the real partying can begin. And you can get back to doing the things your really want to do when you want to do them, instead of fitting things inbetween appointments.
