Today was a long day, all day at the U of M Medical Center for retina and oncology appointments. All the docs have been well prepared, honest and they look me straight in the eye. I like that. I trust the oncology doc (named Krishnamurti ...good karma!) which is good because most of this ride will be with him. His words... "be optimistic and realistic". He wants to start treatment soon, Stage IV non-operable cancer is not a skip in the park (my words). He gave a prognosis of perhaps another year with the promise of new immunotherapy options (PD1 & PDL1) becoming available in the Fall.
I post my beautiful daughter Brigit because she has been one wonderful rock of loving support. We are no longer crying, instead we work as a team to ask thoughtful questions, move through choices and share precious loving time together. We walked home in the warming Spring sun, chatting and laughing. At home another friend was waiting with dinner and cherry pie. I mean how good can it get!
