I'll give Hillary a break from her postings. She has been feeling great all week - even with her daily 5-7 hr visits to the hospital.
She'll start her consolidation chemo treatment next week as an outpatient on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. After the treatment next week, she will have 3 weeks to recover at home. Assuming nothing changes, she will probably get 3 or 4 rounds of this consolidation chemo treatment over the next 3-4 months, following the one week of treatment and 3 weeks of recovery pattern.
According to our Dr, she could get an infection at some point during the next month and have to be admitted.....we'll do our best to keep her at home, though!
It's been so great to have Hillary home the past two weeks - we've been having a lot of fun hanging out, visiting with friends, going for walks and enjoying the beautiful weather. The return of her appetite continues to impress me....and I think I've packed on a few sympathy pounds trying to keep up!
I'll try to post a few pictures in the next few days - she is very stylish with her hats.
Hillary sends her love to you all.
-Chris

Hey Hil - Wally and I are thinking of you and I personally are glad you've joined my "no-hair" club! I am coming up on my third session of chemo and my pixie cut is starting to be a little patchy! Hopefully you got the link I sent you to my blog, but if not, here it is http://foto-monologue.blogspot.com - there are a few older posts that talk about my journey. Anyway, hang in there! Love - Beth (Col's sis in law)

It's so good to hear you are tolerating all of this well! It's got to be tiring going back and forth to the hospital. Your spirit and courage are an inspiration. We're continuing to send positive thoughts out west. xoxo
You two are a great team. Your possitive attitude is just what the Doctor order. Keep up the great work.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this tough journey.
Love,
