End of the Third Week

This is the end of the third week. I'm half done, hard to believe that it is going so fast. I still feel fine, have my appetite and no problems eating. Several people have accompanied me to a treatment and been introduced to my techs, the beautiful healing machine made by Varian, my doc, nurse, fellow patients, etc. We get a chance to schmooze all the way up and back. I'm already looking forward to preserving the time for myself that I now spend on treatments.

Van leaves for China right after we celebrate the end of radiation. Right after Van leaves, our surrogate son, Jeff, is coming down from Seattle to do some work in this area, and he will stay with us. He and I always have a great time, talking, walking, watching movies, gardening, cooking, eating, philosophizing. So there is lots to look forward to as well as lots to appreciate in the moment.

My plan is to report in at the end of each week from here on out. I'll send a short email in addition to reporting on the blog.

  1. Hi Barbara,

    I really appreciate your doing this. Diane did a similar thing and it was so wonderful for all her friends and family.

    Do you think that Jeff (and you, of course) would like to go over to Filoli when he's here?

    Keep up your great spirit.

    Michael
