Four Year Mark

August 31st was the fourth year anniversary of "the diagnosis".  I went from hoping for 6 weeks to 6 months to 8 months...  It has been a very un-small miracle I can celebrate this anniversary.  And what a wonderful time I have had.  John and I have traveled to places I never believed I would see.  Had adventures and many wonderful meals.  Each day has been a blessing of unexpected echanges.  Good friends have shared themselves with the two of us.  A grandbaby has joined t he Anderson family and another daughter in law welcomed.  Johnny is establishing himself in Cambridge and Davey is growing an his food business in Austin.

Change - nothing remains the same - is a reality of our lives and so, we are facing another change.  The blood/brain barrier that  the cancer broke through Doctor's sound very optimistic that they can zap this into submission - and if there is another,  zap it to....   Why do I think about "WAC-A-MOLE?  Anyway,  that is the next course of treatment within the next week.  We go into Mass General tomorrow to discuss a clinical trial program and any other options there are.  Curious on what they will recommend and what our decision will be.  I will keep you all informed as best I can.

Getting this word out to you now so  I can hopefully focus on more fun topics in the future.  Meanwhile,  we are still heading to the Lake through October,  John is going to Cyprus in November,  and I have had great visits with old timey friends.
