Rollercoaster

Time for a quick update. My radiation is well under way. I've completed six out of the seventeen sessions. I've gotten into a rhythm of driving into Seattle each day and am lucky that it's at a quiet time of day traffic wise.

The oncologist says they are targeting a big area on my arm in hopes of deterring all the cancer cells for a very long time. I feel like I'm in good hands and I am very grateful for that.

My hair is continuing to come back more and more each day.  I am very proud of it....and never thought I'd be so thrilled to have short hair....which now feels long. It is definitely all relative!! ;)

 12 weeks post chemo

Mom and I continue to support one another during this crazy time. She has been having weekly chemo sessions which seem to be helping in that the tumor in her lung hasn't grown bigger. But, there is still pain involved for her and it's a trick to find the right mixture of pain medication to ease her discomfort (and not make matters worse!). She's doing a great job of taking things day by day....appreciating the little things and listening to her body when it needs extra rest.

I've been having fun scanning old photos lately!

                                              

After almost 7 months off of work, Zack got the call that he could start training in San Francisco so has moved there and is getting settled. He's experimenting with living in the heart of the city and has found a place with a few roommates. What a big change from Billings! He will have fun exploring it all. The city is truly his oyster! Here is the view from his room:

And I leave for Holland in just a couple weeks. Always, my light at the end of the tunnel. Han and I have been busy making plans and if all turns out we will have some really happy news to share next month.

How is that for suspense?

Love to you all!

It feels like this Dutch artist must've written it just for us.💘
