It has been quite some time since my last blog but as the saying goes - no news is good news. Last week I had a repeat Echocardiogram and CT scan of my chest, pelvis and abdomen. Everything looks good, the cancer is responding to the treat
ment and the treatment isn't causing any other damage. Since I am also tolerating the treatment well, we will continue with another 4 rounds of treatment and then repeat the scans before the end of the year.
I am so grateful that things are going well and that other than some pretty thin hair I am able to live life as normal. However, I am saddened every day by the pain and grief that I watch so many families, friends and acquaintances deal with. Ramsey and I both have lost extended family members this month - one 3 years old and one 33. Both much too young. The grief that the families are going through is unimaginable. I feel like once a week another person I know in some way has been diagnosed with cancer or is battling another kind of illness. I am also seeing childhood friends lose their parents. It all just makes me so sad and also so tired. There are still bright moments to try and push out the sad - like becoming a great Aunt last month. I just with there would be a few more bright moments and far, far less sad ones.
Not much else to say right now except make sure you tell the people in your life that you love them and let's all hope the bright spots will someday outweigh the gray ones.
