Dave and I rang in the new year in Chattanooga with friends and students from all over the country. We spent the last few days of 2011 at the Campus Outreach National Conference. We heard great speakers and had some really good time with the students and leaders. As the clock turned to midnight, Dave reminded me what a difference this year brings. Last year there were so many unanswered questions as we began 2011. As I have said before, we enter this new year hopeful!!
I started planning for our new semester today. One very positive thing about this new semester is that we are not overwhelmed with activities. I am excited about getting back into a routine. I love the holidays, but I am ready for some scheduled days!
One thing I have noticed as I have followed other people with sarcoma is that when they get better, they stop updating. I totally understand why. You want to move away from the world of cancer once you are feeling better. It's discouraging sometimes because it seems there are no good stories out there. No encouraging words. So I wanted to update on how Dave is doing. His last chemo was 7 months ago. His last radiation was 6 months ago. His surgery was 4 months ago. He got the news of clear scans 1 month ago. He is pretty much back to normal. I don't notice him being as tired. His hair is slowly but surely coming back. He laughs alot. He is scheduled for scans again on March 22.
