I get a break!

Last week, Jim and I met with my oncologist, Dr. Goldberg. We think that the tumor has responded well to radiation and chemo and I get to take a three week break! At the end of the three weeks, I'll have another MRI, where we'll decide what the next step is; which most likely will be a stronger round of oral chemo.

I had my last radiation appointment today and am feeling good, other than being tired out all the time. To be honest, I have some bad days, but I have lots to look forward to in the future like a vacation and time with my family who make life worthwhile for me.

Tomorrow, Jim, Jigsaw, and I will head to the Washington Coast to take a much needed vacation. We're staying at the Lighthouse Resort, which I've heard is very nice (picture below). I'm looking forward to relaxing to the sound of the ocean. Check back next week for pictures (if Jim and I can actually make the camera work) and update of my time away!

I really love and appreciate all that my friends have done for me and my family. I am always looking forward to visits, especially since I don't have to travel to Seattle everyday for radiation. Please feel free to come by, just call in advance to make sure I'm up and moving.
