Hard Decision Made

I had another conversation with my oncologist and with his encouragement have decided to go ahead with cycles 5 and 6 of the IL-2 treatment. But I decided to wait and schedule them to begin in mid-August in order to give me more time to recover and to enjoy some more of the summer which has finally arrived in Oregon. I am trying to pack in as much as I can before I have to go into the hospital.

I had a fabulous time in Southern Oregon over the weekend. Two dear friends and I stayed at a beautiful golf resort and spa (Running Y in Klamath Falls) and played two rounds of golf and enjoyed spa treatments. Then we drove to Ashland for shopping and a play (Moliere's the Imaginary Invalid). Only drawback was Sunday was very hot (99) and the play was performed in a tent which may have been even hotter! (The support beam in the indoor theater cracked so they were putting on the plays in a tent in Lithia Park.) It cooled off this morning for our final round of golf and the trip home. L know that I am getting my strength back to be able to do all that we did this weekend and not to be really exhausted. Instead I feel energized by the weekend: all the laughs and fun that we had!
