Kathleen gave me a ride home yesterday and reported that her test results could not have come back better: there's only an 8% chance of her breast cancer recurring!
The next step is radiation. Five days/week for six weeks, starting next month. The hospital is right up the street from both her office and mine, so I can visit her after the treatments if she'd like. While radiation seems like a day at the beach compared to chemo, it is still draining and if she wants someone to lift her spirits, well, I'm always happy to babble away merrily.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
That's great news! I hope she responds well to the treatment.
