I thought I would let everyone know that my 3 week post-0perative visit went well yesterday. Everything is healing well. I am still very tired and tire easily with minimal activity. Dr. Sardi said it would take about 2 months before I start to feel myself again. I just have to give it more time.
We will be discussing follow-up with chemotherapy in about 2 weeks. Dr. Sardi will be consulting the medical oncologists to decide what chemo to use on this rare type of cancer.
In the meantime, Tom and the boys are hanging in there. They are all pulling together to maintain some normalcy around the house. Andrew and Kevin have started back to school, and seem to be off to a great start. As a matter of fact, Kevin started his culinary arts program, and has Thursday as a cooking day. Last week he brought home 2 fresh bagets and focaccia. I can't wait to see what he brings home today! Andrew has a pretty heavy schedule for the fall. He is also continuing at NSA 20 hrs per week.
I will continue to rest and recover. Prayers, calls and visits are appreciated. Till next time... :-) Bets

The blog makes it easy to get caught up on all you're doing. I didn't realize you had two nurse sisters! It sounds like you're doing really, really well, for which God be thanked. Recovery takes time and I know you're missing the flu clinics, but home and healing sounds very good to me.

So glad to hear you are making such good progress. I know it's hard and frustrating to be weak and needing to rest, but it will improve. The doctor has it right that it takes about two months to regain your strength. Ron's surgury was two months ago and he is feeling much stronger and has more endurance.Please keep your blog going. It is so easy to get caught up, without disturbing you with calls. Keep doing what you have been doing, it sounds like it's working.
Don't worry about work, we are giving FLU shots every day!
See you soon.
