Hello friends and family!
First, a very big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. It was an incredible month topped off by an open house for the ages. I felt the love. Thank you, thank you!
Second, I don’t have much to report. Yay! My infusions are every three weeks. I got my tumor markers back and they dropped down a little bit so basically I interpret that as holding steady.
I have a PET scan this week. My oncologist uses the scans to look for progression. I’m feeling pretty good about it because I both feel good and I think my tumor markers are reliable. If they had started to rise I’d be more concerned.
I’m mostly just trying to enjoy summer, my favorite season. I had an epic weekend with family here. I wish they could come more often and stay longer.
I’m getting out for walks in the neighborhood, aided by audio books. I am working on my stamina and also working with my physical therapist on “pre-habilitation” to prepare for my hip replacement on September 3.
We just returned from a holiday weekend in Steamboat Springs – one of our favorite mountain towns.
Whatever you are doing this summer, make the best of it!
Onward!
