Thanks to everyone! Treatments are done!

Wednesday was my last day of chemo and radiation, and I am so relieved! Thank you to everyone for driving me so John could get some work done, bringing us meals because I was to tired to cook,  all the wonderful supportive cards and e-mails and especially the prayers, I know they carried us through.The doctors have warned me it will be a while before I have my energy back so I will just see what I can do over the next few months. I think I have been very lucky, the side effects have been mild. I have a few appointments in October including a new MRI and we will take it from there. Until then I will be organizing stuff around the house, and making things I never had the time to make such as my chocolate zucchini bread and then walking it off!
Thanks to all!

Turning 24 & Silk Scarves

Both kids were home for Labor day weekend . We celebrated Ellie's 24th birthday. with a  champagne cake with candles shaped like champagne bottles and we drank a little champagne with raspberries.
I have three more treatments, then I can take a break, then I will have a new MRI done in October. I'm feeling pretty good, so I tried my hand at dying silk scarves as thank you gifts.
