Liz went into UCSF yesterday for her "second opinion" to make sure all this chemotherapy is the right thing to do. Turns out, it is. She has been very comforted by the news that the treatment she is receiving is exactly what she should be getting, in exactly the doses that should be administered, on exactly the schedule necessary to be successful. Phew.
Better yet. . .this doctor demanded that she NOT think of herself as someone with terminal cancer. If this works, if she can tolerate it, if she can contain this invader, she has years left for us all to drive her crazy. Exactly what we needed to hear.
Tomorrow is round two of chemo. Liz is a tad tired, and fighting a cold, but all in all is doing really well. She knows exactly what she needs to do and is ready to do it!
You once told me service was your love language.
