It has been a while. No excuses. I guess in the best sense of the word, life is busy, and not with cancer. Meaning, it remains in hibernation and I am careful not to wake the beast. Cancer can stay down (forever) for that long winter's nap and never wake up.
I had a check up last week. Weeks leading up to it I had the usual nerves, to me everything was cancer, including an ingrown hair that became a "lump". Everything was cancer to me, until Dr. Hayes Lattin told me it wasn't. He even managed to deliver a straight-faced "it's totally normal, Amy" as I described all of my unusual things I thought might be cancer. I said, "Hey, I know I am crazy."
Next up is the bi-annual PET/CT scan and that will take place this summer. Not typical summer vacation plans...you know, going to the beach, Lake Tahoe, Disneyland, the nuclear medicine wing at the hospital. Doesn't have quite the same ring. I could wear a bikini if I wanted though.
Tomorrow I am going to Thailand. It is work trip but I think there will be some time to see some sights. Should be a memorable and life-changing trip. Will post more on that later.....
After a stiff cocktail of R-ICE (chemo regime for her relapse), DC Jen reach remission - again - and is now waiting for her stem cell transplant. Her blog is awesome, I highly recommend it!
Francesca lives in the US again - NYC - just in time to get her dad "pappa" started on chemotherapy. Will cancer ever leave us alone? She got in to the SF Marathon so she and I will wreak havoc in San Francisco in October. Fun fun fun.
Hope you're enjoying spring. I got a new camera lens, and poor Riley is the subject of some new photos. Isn't she cute? :)
