A quick update to share that I had my six month post chemo follow up today and everything continues to look great. Words can't express my sense of relief. I've been reflecting on the fact that it was almost a year ago exactly that I was first diagnosed. Incredible!
What an intense month it has been: with my mom going on hospice and this appointment looming. Hearing this good news today helps so much...as does the fact that Mom's pain is currently under control (thanks to her radiation treatment and finding the right balance with her medications).
A couple weeks ago, I took a lil' time away to return to Vashon Island.
The hope of Spring's arrival also did my spirit good!
My hair continues to grow in. It's amazing that it takes six months to grow to this point when starting from scratch. It feels like it's starting to speed up lately. I never thought I'd feel so grateful for HAIR.
I have a ticket to fly to Han at the end of the month. Mom is my biggest cheerleader to stick with these plans. I can't wait AND it's hard to think of leaving, all at the same time. But we all feel it's important to keep making plans. I know when I do go, it will be a good opportunity for Mom & Eric (and his family) to spend special time together, too. It's nice that we can be flexible and continue to take things as they come.
Till next time...
❤️
