One year with Stage IV EC and other updates

My husband, Larry, was diagnosed with Stage IV EC last June. Details of treatments are in the About Me section. He had a CT scan Friday and the report we got yesterday afternoon was great! "Dramatically improved" He'll have a PET scan in Sept and a chemo break til at least then. He had an unplanned chemo break during Jan-Mar when he had to have a completely out of the blue quadruple bypass surgery in Jan and pneumonia in March. So, he is excited about a break with, hopefully, no problems.

I'm done with chemo for BC!!! I finished my last of 16 sessions this afternoon and got a balloon, shirt, certificate, and song from some of the staff! I see a neurologist tomorrow about the neuropathy. Thursday, I see the radiation oncologist and find out about the radiation plan and then go get IV fluids to help with side effects and feeling better. In between, I plan on resting and getting ready for the trip. Surgery is scheduled for June 28 and radiation (6 weeks of 5 days a week) will follow healing from surgery.

If all goes well between now and Friday, we leave then (June 8, our 49th !!!!!! wedding anniversary) to go to WA and meet the 3 month old twins!!! -- and, of course, visit with everyone else. Can't wait to hold those babies!! (Lots of !!! today ) Twins are doing great!! If you remember our story, one was a heart baby and had to have open heart surgery at 1 month. She is fine and caught up with her sister now. So many blessings and prayers answered!!

We continue trying to live as normal a life as possible and keep making very short term and longer term goals. After this trip to our son's family, we have a vacation scheduled for the first part of Sept.

We are so grateful and thankful. Thank you all so much for your prayers. We really believe that has played a big part in getting us to this point. And, please, keep them coming.
