Yahoo!!!

I had good news yesterday. The cancer has NOT metasticized into the bone AND I get all of June and all of July off from treatment!

I will meet with Dr. Kanard the end of July to find out when I will start the new round of chemo. Until then, let the games begin!

Thank you for all your prayers and positive thoughts.

Love and hugs,
Chris

Happy Friday!

It is summer here today and I am loving it! I am busy cramming as much fun as I can into this break time...like I don't pack fun in during the rest of the time!
Meet with the oncologist next Wednesday (results of bone scan and CT scan) and then I am off to Texas to float in the pool, soak up some sun and laugh a whole lot with Liz! She and Jim always show me such a fun time-love going to "Club Cain." Des, Ben and I have tickets to see Lyle Lovett the night before I go to Texas and before Des goes into labor. She and I have made quite a pair with all our physical changes and cranky days! We were surprised they did not just move us into an office together and close the door!

Cathy and I will finally get to do Christmas next month! We are heading for a cabin in Estes. I love it up there. Then a trip to Casper for some visiting and to do a couple of training sessions and then to Sheridan for a cooking class. If July goes the way I want it to Leslie and the kids will be here from New Zealand, then I have the Library Leadership Institute in Lander. Also get to go to see Keb Mo in concert in Boulder-too cool!

July is filling up fast-hope that treatment can start the first part of August rather than July. Not that I don't want to keep knocking this thing in the head, but I also want to keep living my life. So much to do!

Hope to also spend lots of time with Carrie. Had a great visit with her on Mother's Day. She spoils me!

I have heard from so many people that they check the blog. Wow and thank you for checking in! You all provide me with such good energy.

Hugs,
Chris
