news of the day

no chemo this week, diane is not strong enough and chemo would likely do more harm than good according to the oncologist.   rescheduled start of next round for next thurs..  d is determined to rebuild her strength and proceed.  she did get another round of saline hydration via infusion yesterday.  seem's to have helped as she is up and about today with more general stability.  she drinks a lot of water, but we're going to start spiking it with low sugar gatoraid for the electrolites.

radiation went well last week, and the spinal pain diane was having is now gone.  so far, no other general pain has developed.

we're signed up for a 4 day workshop at the simonton cancer inst.  in santa barbara starting sunday afternoon 06sep.  the focus is on the mind/body connection.  diane has spent a lot time developing this link and we think a workshop will help.




today were are going for a big outing to target to clothes shop.  wahoo for us..

tomorrow we're going to investigate the tibetan healing center of san diego.

as always, thanks to all for the good wishes and prayers.   tom

  2. I love Target shopping-- wish I was there with you! So glad the back pain is lessened. I think we could all benefit from some work on the mind/body connection, but as always, you seem to be showing us the way forward in so many ways. We love
    you both so much and know that you are both always in our hearts and thoughts.
