Dear Life, The science of medicine and oncology is complex. I will give the cliff notes of my reports. Good news: the cancer is shrinking and lymph nodes are normal. Let’s all celebrate! Other news: I don’t have a head cold. There’s a cloud in my lungs. Instead of scheduled immunotherapy treatment yesterday, I was put on three weeks of steroids. The clinical trail experimental medicine can have side effects. We are watching what is happening in my lungs. I’m living in NM where there’s smoke in the air. My compromised body is doing it’s best to manage everything. I asked Oncologist, “When can I go on summer vacation?” We laughed. A window of joy opened yesterday upon hearing “cancer is receding.” Love those words!
