Not much new to report, except we're nearing the finish line on the main portion of treatment, and all continues to go well. I had my last general field radiation today, my last scheduled chemo treatment and two good meetings with my doctors--who leave me feeling well cared-for and aware that there's still some work to do, both physically and emotionally.
I'll be starting the transition back to Eugene in the next couple of weeks, looking forward to visits from a couple of branches of family, thinking about work and generally getting life back to normal. The one not-so-normal part is that the Docs all agree that it would be wise to do one more round of chemo over the next few months that will be more of a systemic blast to be absolutely sure that no little speck remains anywhere. It's an aggressive approach, and I'm all for it, even if it means extending my adventures at OHSU once every three weeks through May. I'll be in Eugene most of the time, and they tell me that I'll be able to work part time and get back to my life.
But, the original offender is definitely on its last, tiny leg, and they're confident that once we're through this week and next it will be officially, completely gone. Hurrah!

We cannot wait to see you in 2 weeks time! Sophie is all intrigued about Oregon, and has actually started packing tonite. i think she is packing silverware actually, right now. In case you need some. Or she does. We will be in full princess regalia bearing silverware, and ninja hearts.
Hurrah!!!! You are a rock star, and I'm serious, amazing. The good-cancer-ass-kicking vibe is alive and well. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to welcome you back into the fold. You are a strong and vibrant trooper and so, so LOVED! Mwah!!!
It's great to read you are doing so well, under the challenging circumstances. Best wishes for healing and peace in your transition back to Eugene.
Hugs,
Kay
