So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye.

The title for this post comes from a song in "Sound of Music".  The children are saying goodbye to guests from their father's party.  Tonight I said goodbye to my Brother who after 5 days is flying back to his family and home in Idaho.  We get along so well and Love each other a lot.  Even though I expect to see him in a couple of months, it was very difficult for me to see him go.  I Love his family just as much and I know they would be sad if he didn't come home.  I am very eager to see him in early August regardless of where I am in my journey with cancer.

Speaking of cancer.  This Thursday is round #2 of chemo.  I am not looking forward to the treatment or the weekend after.  I obviously know I need the treatment to maintain or improve my health.  However this doesn't make the treatments any easier.

Thank You to everyone who has continually shown support in many verbal and non verbal ways.  I covet this support as I continue to trudge forward in this journey at some points and run forward at others.

  1. So sorry - wish your brother lived closer. Nice that he could come for a few days.
    Praying too, as you prepare for the next round of chemo - hoping it does what it needs to do with the least amount of side effects.
    So...let's do this thing! Cancer, you're going down!!!! and OUT!
    Keep the faith. Our God is healer - awsome in power.
    Love you. Mom B
