Celebrate!! April 23rd more happiness in my life!

John and I had been planning on this before the "'diagnosis" - but it met with some snags along the way....  questions of timing and implementation which finally lost out to the need to act normal,  try to lead as normal as possible an existance,  not the the cancer rule our lives... and a tremendous desire to make US official and to celebrate.

So we Got MARRIED! Saturday the 23rd of April in Suffield, CT at the Second Baptist church.  A very small affair - just our immediate families - 13 in all.  Short and sweet ceremony with personalized vows. Then a ride back to the house for a dinner John insisted on cooking to celebrate!  Friends helped with flowers, dress selection, gaity and celebration.  Family all make it even David Jr who left Austin at 6 that morning.

I feel so beautifully blessed and still amazed that I John is in my life.

Here are a few pictures of the event.... speaks more than words right now!

Love to all and thanks for your interest.

I now face a few days of chemo recovery and then we are off for a week of honeymooning!

Another PET scan

 Last Friday was another PET scan!  It was supposed to be Monday but, like many others around here, I had a horrible cough and cold/flu.   I couldn't be still for 15 minutes..  The good news is that my reaction to chemo wasn't so bad-or didn't appear so since I felt so bad from the flu!

. So we rescheduled the scan to Friday..  I didn't sleep well.  On the way to the hospital we had a flat tire!!! John suggested I call the hospital.... I called UBER!!!!  I didn't have to reschedule.  John got new tires while I fell asleep during the scan!    Word back from the scan.... All is still working with chemo and we will continue!

Daffodil update!  A spring has sprung and it't glorious!  First batch is up.

Happy little faces follow the sun!  This is one batch, those surrounding the house are a bit later!   I am hoping they will all be flowering by the 23rd!

I am putting this and the previous post up late because..... I need to get this info out to keep you up to date... Because more news is coming of a different sort... Happiness... I needed to clear the info of medical stuff.

So great that Spring is here... New life everywhere! 

10th Chemo. Written April 2nd

One more treatment yesterday.... Had to come home from California and a wonderful trip visiting both John's family and some of my friends.  An India Indian wedding provided great entertain and an education!  

Here's a picture of the Deweese contingent- John's two sisters and their husbands, a nephew and wife with new baby and a cousin of John's with her husband...the father of the bride!  Beautiful series of venues, beautiful sari's and dancing... And lots of people.

Then a trip to Santa Rosa, Leigh and Greg Furda and some vineyards followed.

Here we are at vineyard on our way to see Leigh and Greg.  

A visit to Oakland with ELLEN and Bob ANSEL followed by a dinner with Ting - another of John's "adopted" daughters.

 It was a great trip which kept me from thinking too much about the Cancer.  Unfortunately, not completely as I realized more that walking up altitudes left me short of breath.  I really need to exercise more!!  Also swollen feet became a new symptom to be dealt with!  

At the Doctor visit for the Chemo I mentioned the swollen feet which led to the need for ultrasound to check for blood clots... Fortunately nothing found!

So we are off to New York for the last opera of the season!   Make these cancer thoughts go away!  

I am at the juncture for another PET scan in the next couple of weeks!  Keep me in your prayers.
