RD - our friend ( in her early 30's) just beat breast cancer, just had her last surgery a few months ago. She's back to work and got a new rack out of the deal. Maybe you can get some mods too so you'll be able to huck triple forwards right out of the gate.

See you on the water soon.

Hi guys!

Just got an update from the Cancer Centre. I am starting my treatment on Wed next week. 6 weeks of radio and chemo. My white friends and I will know each other very well by the end of it :D

Cheers

OK. My first day of radio and chemo treatment. So far nothing bad. Just a big machine swiveling around the head injecting radiation into the stupid cancer. Six weeks to go. The technician said its going to become interesting by the week three... cant wait...

on the positive hand - two more weeks and I can go around w/o the hat :)
on the negative - three more weeks and I'll need the hat again :)

Glad to hear the second phase of the healing journey is underway. I was thinking of you on Wednesday past and hoping this part is not too uncomfortable.

Thank you guys for your great support!

Finally it is a time for my weekly report. Actually not much to report. First week passed, I feel great! So far no side effects from chemo or radio. I am training (mildly) every day to keep my body ready for later weeks. I am a little intimidated by what people say about week three and up, but hey I don't have a choice. I have to keep my head down and do what it takes!

Thinking about you guys all the time! Sorry if I don't answer your direct messages right back - some other stuff is taking big part of my days as well.

On the other hand - yesterday I saw KUS on TV! Nice going dood!
Funny grass for anti nauseating - I am affraid my doc won't approve that :( plus I heard medical stuff is not that good at all. :shock:

That's all for this week. Stay tuned!
