I met with my oncologist this week...... good news!
The cancer responded to the chemotherapy. Hurray!
The 16 treatments did their work. Next is surgery, July 22nd.
Thanks for all the prayers that positive thoughts sent for healing.
Thank you GOD!! Martha

Tuesday, yes to golf, no to Chemo!
Yesterday my friend Jane called me to join her for golf. Tuesday was a beautiful day so I decided to play, I didn't have chemo, all done with that.
My surgery is scheduled July 22nd. I have a few weeks to gather strength and prepare for a double mastectomy and reconstruction. Our family from California will come for a visit over the fourth of July. We haven't see Laura and Nora since Christmas. Our little Nora, will be 2 in July and Mia will be five. I think we will have a family birthday celebration for them over the holiday. Can't wait to play with our grandchildren, they have such joyful laughter and playful spirit..... so much fun to be around.

Hurray, Last chemo
On Tuesday I had my last chemo...... Hurray!!
My cousin, Nancy Burke, kept me company. We had such a great visit.
We talked away the couple of hours catching up on our families and talking about past family experiences. Nancy was the city cousin, I was the country cousin. She grew up on Dearborn, Mi. and I in Hillsdale. I remember spending a few days at her house when I was young. It might have been one of the first times I was away from my parents. I was very homesick I remember. One of the memories from that visit was Nancy painting her fingernails, I was probably still digging in the dirt with my hands. Her nails were beautiful today, mine were filed but not beautiful like hers. Anyway, we had a fun time reminising and catching up. I think we both agreed that we need reconnect again.
Joe and I met with the plastic surgeon today, I have a tentitive date of July 22 for surgery. I will have a few days in the hospital after the surgery and a 6 to 8 week recovery.... on to the next phase.
The Art Center had a Student Show tonight. Many families came to see their work. It was a great event. Jean Lash pulled it all together. The center continues to grow with new staff and classes growing in numbers. One of the popular ones is making Fairy Doors. There are summer camps for kids, portrait classes for adults. Lots of choices and wonderful work coming from students.
