August Update

It’s been an interesting summer - Busy and hectic are understatements. Best news is, that Phase 2 of chemo, which has been every Friday since June, will be done and over with on September 11th – yeah!!!

Beth’s youngest, Hayden who turned 2 in July, had some surgery a few weeks ago for his tonsils etc.. but after a tough few weeks he’s doing wonderfully; breathing so much better and not drooling anymore – yeah!! Such a trooper like his mom…

Her eldest, Devon, has had a busy summer himself with camp, friends and enjoying the pool whenever we’ve been lucky enough to have good weather… And he can't wait for school to begin this week - Devon's a great student who loves school and can't wait to see so all his friends...

No surprise to anyone; Beth has continued to work all summer, main reason she scheduled her chemo's for Friday's so that she could have the weekends to "recoup"... and for the most part it worked... She's the poster for child for "not being able to keep a good woman down"!!

So once again – Chemo will be done on September 11th and then after a few weeks of “down time”, plan is for her to begin Phase 3, probably on October 2nd.. The next phase will be herceptin and daily radiation... Goal is to be able to have the radiation done close to home versus Boston – so keep your fingers crossed…

As always Beth is so grateful for everyone’s wonderful notes, thoughts and prayers – they are a tremendous source of support – so keep ‘em coming…
