Jen's next scan is tomorrow. The days really do seem to fly by. Jen has been discharged from Physical Therapy, but continues to do her workouts at home. She has really become refocused and disciplined about it. She realizes there is a good possibility that she may be in for more surgery this year and wants to be as strong as possible to enable a speedy recovery. Overall Jen has been doing pretty well. The chemo continues to wipe her out for about a week each month, and her overall energy since resuming the chemo last August has declined, much like it did during her first year of chemo back in 2015. The chemo affects her platelets, hemoglobin, and white cell counts and it will take a while for these to come back once she stops taking the chemo. Jen continues to have memory issues that seem to have gotten a little worse in the last 6 months, but her doctors think this may have more to do with the radiation than the cancer itself. Unfortunately, since Jen has multiple inoperable tumors, she also received a greater area of radiation than someone who has only a single resected tumor. As always, please continue to keep Jen in your thoughts and prayers. I will post the scan results tomorrow or Friday.
We had our annual Oscar party this past Sunday. Of course we failed to take a single picture. We had a lot of fun and managed to see a lot of films leading up to it. We also managed to get to see 2 concerts - one of our favorite things to do together.
