I almost forgot!

Dr. Lang finished her first marathon on Sunday in a time of 4:20:29. Now I'm not much of an expert on marathon times, but having attempted similar things on the bike and recently in the pool, I am impressed that she not only finished but finished 416 out of 1454 women and 1879 out of 4275 overall!

Congratulations to Jen and here's hoping you all sent in your checks ;-) You forgot? Go back to this post in case it slipped your mind...

I am skipping days here lately because there's not much to report in the way of treatment, complications, major side effects, etc. All in all, like I said on Monday, the week has been very good relatively speaking.

The difference between rounds one and two is seriously like night and day. Nanc's taste buds are still a little slow coming around - things are mealy but getting better. She's gotten out to two meetings and is planning on more outings as her energy allows. She has been experiencing some abdominal pain that Dr. Lang thinks is from the chemo. We see her later today and will report back if she says anything different.

The biggest development to report is that she finally hired someone to come in and help her take care of her clients! We got a call last Saturday from an old friend named Sean who used to do a little work for her years ago. She heard about Nanc's situation and was just calling to see how she was doing. Sean is a cancer survivor herself and has been cancer free for quite a few years. They were comparing catheter port scars in the kitchen last night. Sean was jealous because Nancy's surgeon did a better job...

Anyway, Sean has been working doing books for quite a while and has just gone off on her own and had some extra time. The current plan is to have her come in twice a week. To say that she blew through the input yesterday would be an understatement. The girl is fast...

Serendipity strikes again...
