I managed to pry the keyboard from Chris :)
I wanted to thank you all for your amazing support. I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful messages and positive thoughts. I hope you all know how much it means to me. I feel soooo lucky to have you all in my life.
My new {unpaid} job - a daily trip to Stanford's infusion treatment center - is going well so far. I've been feeling really well, and we've been watching my white blood cells growing like the little champions they are. (go guys!)
We're meeting with my doctor this week to figure out chemo phase 2. Perhaps they'll figure out how to cram 4 months of treatment into, say, a weekend. :)
fun: one of my drugs wipes out my potassium, so Chris has been making me banana milkshake concoctions!
love to you all...

You're in my thoughts SO often throughout the day, Hillary. But, now I'm thinking of you and Chris going on walks to the ice cream shop, drinking homemade banana milkshakes, and climbing into your own bed!

Welcome home Hillary!! Your banana milkshakes sound yummy. Keep getting that cell count up up up. Thinking of you and Chris.

There is nothing like your own bed and the comforts of home! Hopefully you'll get better rest which will mean an even stronger Hillary!

Peanut butter, bananas and pretzels - I swear by it. So DELISH!! Your amazing attitude and great spirit is humbling to us all. Keep on keeping on. Miss you here at Adob's!

It was so wonderful to see your smiling face outside in the sunshine! I hope that being home helps you in your recovery. I'm so glad to hear that you knocked this phase of chemo out of the ballpark. I hope and pray that the positive news continues.
