1) Radiation: While my cancer journey is not over yet, I'm feeling closer to 100% than I have in months. The plan is to do one more expansion at the end of the month, wait a week, then start radiation with Dr. Francine Halberg, a radiation oncologist at the Marin Cancer Institute. Dr. Halberg is right downstairs from Dr. Head, Dr. Kelley and the chemo lounge. There is a lot of healing going on in that building. Radiation will last no more than 6 ½ weeks, so I should be done by the end of April. Hooray!
2) Chocolate: Here are the girls yesterday before school. Valentine’s Day arrived just in time and proved a great distraction from my parents departure the day before. While Grandma and Grandpa are still missed, the Valentine's Day chocolate is really helping to ease the pain.
3) Love: We couldn't do this without our family and friends--their love and support makes this all possible. Thor (the handsome old guy on the right) knows all about love. Thor and Toni welcomed Thea—a 1 ½ year old Chihuahua—into their home last month. Thor—who is 12—has been acting like a 9-year-old ever since she arrived. I guess love can work wonders for everyone.
dad here...grandma and grandpa miss all of you.
ReplyDeleteRest assured...you do have lots of love and chocolate in your lives...you always will,
while the radiation will be only brief.
Love, peace and health to all. Namaste.
Dad
