I thought I would give you all a quick catchup on the next chapter of my recovery. I saw my oncologist for my 3 week follow-up and am healing well. I will start a 5 week course of chemo and radiation in a couple of weeks when the oncologist and radiology specialist get the schedule set up and housing for us settled. Because we have a four hour drive each way, we have to stay there, but fortunately there is a place called Hope Lodge that accommodates folks like me.

We got good news while there. The cancer seems to have been located in only one area so the chemo and radiation is just to be sure it doesn't pop up somewhere else. And it is very unlikely this will cause my death. So good news all around.

I went through the simulation, so I am prepped for the real radiation treatments when scheduled. I have to laugh at the 7 very black marks they will use to position me. My husband threatens to draw colorful pictures to make my abdomen even more interesting. hehe I guess it is a very good thing my bikini days are long past.

I promise I am doing fine and looking forward to finally regaining my energy and getting into my sewing room. I really want to start working on all the projects that have been waiting for 2 years.
