Speaking of heading home - quite literally we were able to walk out/get pushed in a wheel chair (I'll let you guess which was Tom) of the hospital today. Our hospital neighbor one door down from us in the oncology wing was saying her final goodbyes this afternoon as we were leaving. Her children, grandchildren, and siblings were all bedside and talking in the hallway of all of their favorite memories. We are thankful and recognize that we are in a position where we come in, get treated and can go home with the intent of beating this cancer. Others are not as lucky as we are - may that sweet woman rest in peace. Sorry, a bit of a late night tangent, but an important one nonetheless. I digress...
So, while we were very excited to get through the first treatment – especially since we now know what to expect – we are still very curious to see how these next two weeks go between treatments. We will feel much better when we know what to expect within the whole cycle and can manage accordingly. So today was a baby step – but I’ll be damned if we aren’t going to celebrate it – this is a marathon not a sprint and we are still moving in the right direction. More to come…
