Good week.

Hi everyone,

This week went much smoother for chemo, Yeah for that. I am still very exhausted but my other symptoms are better. I have 9 more weeks, end of April, May mastectomy, then radiation for 6 weeks, my tumor has really shrunk before my eyes...

I want to thank Yvonne deGroen for being a special friend from the heart, she came to visit me and that was special.

Pam Ajir paid us a visit and that was lovely to see her, been way too long.

Lily is doing great in school and ready for kindergarten this coming Fall.

We are gearing up for a major storm and snow in the mountains, possibly even in town. Should be a wild ride.

Thank you all again for keeping in touch, each day I am blessed with kindness in so many generous ways. I look forward to healing and being back on top of life. God bless.

Happy Valentine's Day! My daughter Lily's school made me a card I just had to share, it was a collective of all her classmates and teachers in a larger kiddy get better card. That made me tear up.

Good news sharing.

Hi favorite friends and family,

Thanks for stopping by. Latest news; I got results of BRAC1 & BRAC 2 test which give either a negative or positive reading on whether my left breast will be prone to cancer and if Lily has the genetic marker as well. The tests came back completely negative for any traces (along with clean MRI), so I can choose to do a single mastectomy and only ovaries removed rather then hystarectomy. I am pleased.

I also had my first of 12 week chemo Taxol/Herceptin, so far the ability to function is way better then the A/C that did the big power hit. My tumor really shrank down dramatically in the last week and my oncologist was so pleased with the outcome so far.

I hope everyone is off to great weekend. I will be watching our local AT&T Golf ahhh here in beautiful Pebble Beach. Talk soon.
