Sistrrrr Powrrrr!

Great news from Oregon about my sister Molly. Her surgery yesterday—a double mastectomy—was very successful, and the surgeon did not find any cancer in the lymph nodes. This is fantastic news and the entire family and all of Molly’s friends are so relieved and happy. Keep up the good fight Molly!

I’m feeling surprisingly good this week—after my frustrating experiences last week, I was certain that this week (the second week in a row of chemo) would be even worse. But no—feeling good, and in fact after a week off, felt well enough to return to the gym today. Go figure!

One thing really keeping me going are my family and friends, who continue to bring me food, help with the girls and just show their support for us. Our very good neighbor Elise, with her husband Kevin, and three wonderful kids, has really gone above and beyond—bringing dinner, home-made muffins, and walking the kids to school every time I have a morning chemo appointment. That’s a lot of walking, but always done with a beautiful smile on her face. Thanks Elise!

  2. I am so so so so so so, did I say "so," glad that you had a better post-chemo experience this week. That is great to hear but it's even better to hear that the tumor is pretty much non-existent! Good-bye cancer.
