THIS WILL BE THE BEST SUMMER EVER..NOT

If you watch any television at all, you've seen the Toyota commercial that plays relentlessly on every channel all day long. "This will be the Best Summer Ever". I despise that commercial. This is anything but my best summer ever. (Boo-Friggin-HOO)

UPDATE:

I will be at Mass. General Hospital once again for a procedure that I have had numerous times this Tues. Supposedly this will be my last one before I start radiation. Let's just say, it's not the most pleasant of procedures. It's the anticipation of knowing what I have to endure each and every Tuesday that's the worst. Just picture having to have your botton lip pulled up over your face and held in place with an ice pick (O.K., a slight hyperbole (exaggeration) (not by much) without medication and then having to do that again next week. Major OUCH!!!

I start the beginning stages of radiation this Friday, it's called mapping, whereby they tatoo me with markings so that they radiate the correct spots each time rather than my heart and lungs!!!

Chemo continues every 3 wks, along with blood work and seeing the oncologist.
So much for an apple a day keeps the doctor away!!

Radiation will be every day Mon-Friday for the next 6 wks. After radiation I will have more surgery at Mass. General. I hope to be a survivor looking back on my journey by next year sometime. I was guessing this would take 12-18 months and I was correct.

They also started me on hormonal therapy which is part of my treatment. It's pill-form and I must take it for the next 5 yrs.


Enough about me: Brent and Arielle will be performing at Ba Ha Brothers on Sunday August 23rd, so please SAVE THE DATE!!!!!

MY grandchildren Alex and Ashlyn continue to bring me so much love and JOY!!!
I carry their picture with me when I have to do anything unpleasant. My theory being, the JOY Will burn out the pain. So far so good!!! O.K., so pain medication supplements my love for my babies--whatever.

I hope you are having the BEST SUMMER EVER!!!!
