Julie and I agreed that if she made it through the first fight with cancer (5 months of chemo treatments), we would go somewhere special. I was thinking the Carribeans or similar. Or one of those cruises. Or Mexico or Panama. Well, work said I needed to go to Paris this week and talk to Total Oil Company. Julie, said she wanted to go.
So Monday I leave for Paris. Julie follows on Tuesday. We fly together on Sunday back to Philadelphia.
Julie's last pet scan showed no cancer in her lungs, liver, heart, etc. Bones are still in question, but probably okay. Julie's blood work shows her red blood cells are in the normal range. Her white cells are still down but improving. She will be on Herceptan every three weeks for the rest of her life. They will go back to chemo, we are told When not if, the cancer returns. But, until then, we are trying hard to learn to live in the moment and enjoy each other. We are doing better with staying happy and in the present.
Well, more later. Getting ready for Paris.
